For me Christmas has come early. I just got Edy 84cc rpm heads, comp double roller timing set, Lunati Voodoo513/533 hyd cam & lifters & gaskets.
The only problem is I have a bunch of honey do's I have to get done before I can spend time with my toy.
New bathroom
3/4 of the house in hard wood floors
ETC.
 
I'm going to pull the 727 from my 69 roadrunner and get the torque convertor freshened up and I would like to get one of the RT Garage Rev-N-Nator ECU's and installed too.
 
I am lookin to build up a respactable 318 this winter... Off to a good start! I have the block! Haha :p Big plans for it though, i'll post up my build when its done for sure...
 
Rebuild the 4 speed I just bought to convert my 70RR from an automatic. Source the rest of the parts to do the conversion in the spring. I just put up a long post about it.
 
Still trying to get my 69 RR on the road after several years. Looks like I might get the engine in shortly.
 
$6k-7k brick & cap {over 1000 so far}, 70' & 35' of scalloped concrete bricked retaining wall, planter boxes/rings actually, multiple 1/2 round steps, clean decomposed granite fill, ground cover, 3 different colored gravels, piping, drainage, grading, bird bath/fountain {maybe}, 2 blue spruce trees etc., in front yard & then pea gravel & watershed for the rear area, by my car ports {my winters car money, got spent on landscaping}...
 
finish the 48 Plymouth Bz Cp build and get at least the roof and the rear of the 62 Polara 500 in solid metal and primer...among tinkering a bit here and there on a few other Mopar projects..maybe mess a bit with the 51 Packard hearse..time will tell...always something to do here at the house...
 
Having my garage door re mounted so it goes up close to the ceiling and then a 4 post lift for christmas.No more laying on the floor everytime I have to go under the car.
 
No projects planned. I hope to go snowmobiling every weekend from mid-January to late March.
 
My Roadrunner is getting the following treatment

Complete rewire with upgraded EZ Wiring Fusebox
Engine Bay Refresh
New CME Crate Motor - 522 525hp/625tq
Most likely new clutch
Wizard Cooling Rad with upgraded cores and 4 fan shroud
New Dr. Diff 489 third member with 3:55 ratio
New Mechanical Guages -Volt/Oil/Temp
Drop Front end 1-2"
Rebuild heater box and replace leaking heater core

If budget permits

New 3" Exhaust header back
Re-spring drivers seat and cover armrest pads (rear 2 were missing I picked up a pair of used pads and bases)


Think that covers it
 
Hoping to get my car back on the road by spring. Engine and trans is out and I'm planning on rebuilding the front susp, stiffening the K frame, and changing to disc brakes. Trans is done, heads are rebuilt, now to get the front suspension done finish cleaning the engine and get it back together.
 
#1 lose weight ...#2 stop dreaming ...oh oh ..#2 cancels #1 ... stay warm till April ?........

If we get some snow it would be nice to get some miles on the sleds. Fired mine up Sunday and rode it out of the shed. Put a whopping 3 miles on last year.
Be nice to upgrade, but my '99 ZX chassis MXZ only has 2000 miles.
 
change to 7290 u joints get new 5 point harnesses change oil and hope for 11.os come spring in the 63 the barracuda just wash it.
 
Get my 1969 Charger resurrection put together.

I'm with ya there !! I wish I had the extra car/garage $$$, I'd be doing that too... I'm getting too old for the laying on the floor crap, or jack stands & a floor jack routine any more, makes for a true hassle, especially when you do everything by yourself all the time... IMHFO a lift would make my car life, much easier again... I've been putting some stuff off, mainly because it's such a pain with out a lift {especially in a little garage too}... I used one for a bunch of stuff for many years, especially before I moved & now I'm way too far from any of the dealerships, to be convenient to use theirs anymore... I want my own again...

:iamwithstupid: this is what I've been looking at, Pro Park Plus PP8P, would work great with my 10' 5" garage height & my 99 4x4 SLT Dakota or my RR on the lift.... I could park the car on the lift & park the Dakota under it if need be... but would have to change the garge door to follow the roof like your talking about too...

not so much my 2002 F350 4x4 dually cant get it in the tiny 20'x20' garage...

That's an easy one, the same thing as the last couple of winters "get my Charger on the road". Fortunately it's going to happen this time.
 
I do have a 42'x28' carport that will be my shop someday, it's beyond my budget right now thou
