In no particular order:
At some point, I might get my chit together and decide what I'm going to with trim, instrument cluster&guages, bumpers, door pads, etc....
If I can figure out a good way to store the seats after they are done, I might make the reupholstery of them an indoor project.
 
Lots planned.

Installing a 340 in my Duster, putting in a line lock, finding some sticky tires, putting a 318 in our Dart, installing the 8 3/4 in the Dart, building our other 340 for hubby's Challenger, interior work on the Challenger, including sewing new seat covers for it, rebuilding the suspension on the Challenger.

The garage has already been cleaned and organized for winter, the boat is covered and out of the way so we've got plenty of space in our 30X40 pole barn. :cool:

I spent the day trying to re-organize the hell I call a garage, but most of it was sidetracked and I ended up priming my car trailer. I will give her a Tremclad makeover and put new boards in it, and call it a day.
I still have to throw front brakes onto the New Yorker, but they won't be done til the middle of next week. I look forward to having a spare bay again! :)
 
RR is put away and won't move again until spring. No desire or ambition to mess with it as of late.

I went back to Chases JY today and picked up the gauge cluster I found, will probably clean it up and detail over the winter for installation next year and that's about it.
 
I'm hoping to get back to PA in Feb for a week to work on the R/T/A some more. Im getting the trunk floor and a full quarter panel for the pass side to speed things up for Mark. The fiberglass fenders and front valance have arrived so I' be trying to get those installed while I'm there as well. I'd like to have the car ready to prime before I head back this next time. I gotta get some measurements from the engine pieces and parts before I can torque everything down. I also need to get some parts machined to fix some clearance issues (rocker shaft pedastals, #5 main cap). Some things just need finished or replaced (size and cut the pushrods and get a billet Indy rear main seal).

Maybe I'll get to catch up with some of the other Moparnuts I didn't get to meet in the area last time too (Plum...?)

It almost sounds like time to get another project to take your mind off the shoveling:rolleyes: ... 'cept if that heat bill thing gets in the way a little.:D
 
Started in on the garage today.. sort of.

We're planning on moving the central vac unit from the basement out into the garage and needed to get a shelf unit out of the way.

In the process, I moved this cabinet that I've had for a while about 5 times. Finally, I just hung the sucker on the wall be the door into the house. Turns out that it's a good place for the garbage bags and some other stuff that's found it's way into the garage. I added some hooks on the front edge of the bottom to hang the brooms and swiffers that somehow seem to find their way into the garage - but if I were to ever use one out there, I'd get my boys cut off. "They're house only brooms." :doubt:

After that I looked at what I've got to work with to place the central vac unit and I realized that I have to move at least one other shelf. I need to run the exhaust from the vac to an outside wall.

Both of these shelves were loaded. One with supplies one with parts.

Only the parts shelf has stuff on it still, but a lot of it I bagged and tagged and put into a storage bin. Now I need to find a place for the bin, but that's not as tough to do as it used to be.

The scary part: I found parts that I don't recognize....:rolleyes:
should be fun putting that puppy back together. :o


It was a nice warm day here, but I had to keep the doors closed because of the wind and a bit of rain..
 
i have all the stuff but rockers on the way for the 906 heads im getting done. this will be my first official porting attempt but i have the templates so i should not be able to screw that up too much :helpme: once i get the cam dialed in and the heads installed i will start to work on what i have put off forever, the body work/paint. i have a guy making carbon fiber pods for a component set and plan to install a stereo once the paint is done but i always side track myself with one thing or another just out fear/ignorance of the paint job. the good thing about where i live is i can take 70 degree drives in the middle of december and january :cool:
 
Since I put the Hemi in my Cuda two summers ago I am now getting stress fractures on the panel behind the drivers side back passenger window. So going to install frame connectors and hope that will stop that.

Next install heavy duty leaf springs I got when I bought a 70 Cuda in Idaho. Maybe move them inboard some so I can get wider tires on the car too.

Buy some wrinkle wall tires and rims to go racing next summer.

Would also like to clean up some of the cancer on the lower usual places it is starting to bubble since I got it. They didn't do a good job of ridding all of it when it was restored last.
 
plans finish Volvo (have it sold)
get the 66 barracuda home
rebuild jeep prep to sell or?
replace body work on bike ( I have it all now)
