Doing the interrior, waiting on material

View attachment 549450

I remember when I was 4 my old man got a 64 mustang and he had it ripped apart for a flip. We were sitting on paint thinner cans and he drove it to the store. I miss those days, my dad used to do body work and we always had some hotrod being done at the house.
Too cold in the shop for me so spring I'm pulling the teen and gonna rering and cam it. A bunch of small stuff, master cylinder find pulleys and brackets for my a/c delete, scavange for an intake. My budget is like zero so my hope is to drive it summer of 19

Just today started to get my 63 Polara ready to sell.

That's a bummer...moving on to another project?

Freshen up a poly, rebuild instrument console, rust repair on frame rails, replace fuse block, complete re-contour of steering wheel...maybe some bodywork. Car is in driveway, no garage. If it snows will probably make another snow blower.

Two projects -
I missed last season with some cylinder head issues on my 64. Got that fixed thanks to KG Engines. Now, just put it back together.
The second is my friend's Roadrunner. Played tag with the wall and lost. Thanks to the Yantus boys it will be back home shortly and the fun begins. I'm really looking forward to this project.

Well I guess I'm gonna add front brake conversion to the winter list...Santa brought me a full setup for 11.75 disc brakes.

I want to start on the car, but. You need a place to sleep at the track. Unfortunately the outside120 volt recepticle leaked water into my deluxe acomadations. Built from the finest OSB. A little water and the back wall turned to garden mulch. I hate wood, sawdust, splinters, it won't weld. Anyway all better now.

My latest project is my Shaker hood project for my 70' Challenger. (now that everything in my house quit breaking hopefully, thermostat, humidistat, dryer & then furnace itself all in less then a month). Picked up the hood last weekend, now I am making a custom drop base to fit the dual Dominator carbs and making a larger wider & taller Shaker scoop. It is going to be a lot of work but I think will look cool when done..

Glad you making winter progress... -25 Celsius here today... again... To cold to walk to shop. :drama:

Started Saturday before sunrise with 20 deg weather. By 3:30 it was a balmy 35, and with the help of 2 good people much smarter than me, the stroked poly is back home. Now all I need to do is everything else and then I'll be smokin' tires.

I have been working on this thorn in my side since late fall. Every damn time I do something to it I have to do it 3 times because the owner CAN'T MAKE UP HIS DAMN MIND. I've been through 3 sets of headers, 2 rearends, dropped the front. Dropped the rear. Then added a c notch. Brakes etc etc.. I just want the damn thing gone. 5 inch drop in the front and a 6 in the rear with a c-notch.
