What are your Mopar goals for 2025?

The 84 D150 is a "Miser" model with a slant six and 4 speed overdrive. It has been a long drawn out project, started by me and idea sold to my Son. The truck initially intrigued me a few years ago with it's drivetrain, a combo I hadn't experienced yet, and the body wasn't so bad that a guy was discouraged right away. The "z" shaped brace on the bottom of the floor between the frame and rocker was still there and the complete rocker, engine ran mint, better than some of my first trucks but that's not saying much. The biggest thing that hung up my original attack on making it roadworthy was deciding that I should paint it, and I really failed the first time I sprayed it. The first pic is when I got it, then after the first spray, then after the second spray, then a little later

I plan to drive my 78 Fury and my Son to drive his 84 D150 once the snow and salt is gone. Have a 75? W200 parts truck to come home in the spring. My Daughter is getting her license in May, plans on driving a 78 LeBaron that my Dad started on in the late 80s/early 90s, it's been inside since, in it's current spot since 2001/2002.

The Fury is a 440 powered ex cop car. Originally from North Carolina, it's still solid, rough around the edges, bad weatherstrips, mediocre paint, dyed black from green interior fading back to green, but it was an unmarked car so no holes in the roof or damage from removed equipment, and has most if not all of it's original cop features. 5 cop wheels, A/C, front and rear sway bars, trans/PS coolers, etc., even has a correct exhaust system with resonators and all. In terms of life goals and dreams this car fits the bill. I have wanted a "Dukes" cop car, or a 2 door 75 up B body, they are one of the best looking cars with a high or proud sitting rear end. I need to drive it to see if I love it and decide whether it's a keeper, my wife really likes the look of it so it may stay if I don't want it.

I knew that it wouldn't be long before the cops showed up!
 
For years, I have been replacing parts on my cars that show wear. For example door handles, mirrors, windows cranks, trim pieces, etc. I could never bring myself to throw away the old parts. None of the parts are high dollar items, so I'm not interested in selling them. I've been meaning to post them up for free to FBBO members.
Last year I did a trial run. I posted up a set of pistol grip shifter inserts free to the first member who PM . The woodgrain was worn smooth. But we're usable, especially to someone who would want Paint them a custom color. They were claimed in less than a minute. I posted it accidently in the interior forum, not the interior forsale forum so it was deleted. So my new 2025 goal is to post up atleast 1 item to give away per month.
 
I’d like to get out my 66 300 that’s been stored away for 2 1/2 years and put some miles on it, it’s a nice car to drive. I’d like to get my GTX streetable (I’m talking general mayhem streetable), needs brake work, wiring, and glass to accomplish. I’d also like to get my 73 W100 streetable. I was putting it together in early 2020 and when everything shut down it stopped progressing and it got packed away for our move. It needs ft/rr driveshafts made, and front axle bearing service and u joints. It’s actually pretty damned close. On top of those, I might ought to see about finding another job too.
