Winter Projects

[BOSSMAN]

Man I finally got a chance to get back into my old shop to get some work done. I have been slammed with work for the past two months trying to get caught back up and boy does it feel good!

I've gotten to work on some pretty neat projects that should turn some heads for the 2013 Racing Season in their respected classes. Sooner or later I will share.....

What winter projects do my fellow Bang Shift pals have setup for themselves to keep busy over the winter months? For myself besides finishing my new shop I plan to update my 66 Impala motor and if my car gets finished at the body shop I have some rear suspension work to do.

How about you?

Getting a Pontiac OHC six engine running. Sending the Buick's heads out for porting and advancing the cam. Going to finally get the half digital dash in the Skylark.

The Impala has a long list that I am making longer. Turbos, fuel system, some rust repair to waterproof car, then rewire.

The Caprice may get a different set of heads, oval port open chambers. Maybe even headers. But first, get better rockers that dont break in half. Then get the AC back in and functioning. I may get the extra four speed, pedals, clutch and such sitting in storage and get to shifting.

I'm thinking about a kick ass injector you could make me for an a/fuel car!
Serriously...this winter I'm going to enjoy my family, get rid of some junk i've taken as payment, look for a job so I can be home more, tinker with my camaro, make love, listen to music, and drink beer. Do some scouting adventures with my boy, teach my daughter how to cook. It's a re-set year for us. The in-laws are comming for Christmas so I've been working around the house...
I've been re-wiring my camaro, and I might have gotten over my head....we'll see!

You are an inspiration to me, one of the reasons I want to stay home more.

Meh, I am done with it. No interest in it whatsoever. Daughter wants it...She can have it. She wants to do the bodywork (taking welding) I say gor for it chika. I will get her a tank for the welder and she can go to town on it.

If you're ready to jump into this world, I could see what I could do.....There is a guy out there that thinks pretty highly of himself.
He's pretty good, and you are on par....you could give him a run for his money. He makes a nice product but he's a flake. If I sent you one of his could you reproduce it? This might be my/our new winter project....

Winter projects? About the same as my summer projects were...!
Only now, over 'quite a few' years, I've finally got all of the parts scrambled together and machined to make it happen;

- Build up an oldstyle 392" Hemi;
- Build up a modern 5.7L propane injected EFI Hemi;
- Build up a 500" supercharged bigblock Mopar;
- Fab-up some subframe connectors in my daily Dart;
- Install 5.7 Hemi

This list should get me well into 2013 I guess :o)

Don't tempt me, this sounds WAY too fun!

Christmas time is for visiting family and...Putting my wifes 68 Cougar back together...Need to find some 15x7 Minilites or American Daisy 200s for it...

[Thumpin455]

Hopefully get the GTOs both reliable/drivable, and the LeMans too. That includes buying or building an EFI system for the 70. If I get something done, then maybe I will get Old Ugly drivable, the cage installed, and make it run right with that fuel sucking 1050. Part of me wants to say screw it, and sell all the cars I have then do nothing. Absolutely nothing. Just sit here and get fat.

For the first time in many winters my ride will be tucked away in the garage.

Plan on installing valve cover breathers in next two weeks.......upholstery guy
wants to tighten up headliner from last Spring install.

I am looking at possibly purchasing a couple of these from Stockton wheels
for the rear.
