Winter projects

[wldgtx]

So I was just wondering what everyone is working on this winter for projects?  This is not limited to your e-body or even Mopar...

For example:  I have just completed my addition to my barn for a heated paint booth which is 37x14 (plenty of prep room)... I installed 40k lumens of LED lights so I have plenty of light that surrounds the car while working on it.

I am also restoring my uncle's '66 Chevelle, I just welded in a new trunk pan and getting ready to hang quarters.  I also found a couple of small rust spots on the Challenger that were hiding, that I will be repairing.

So what are you working on?

KNOW NOTHING, BUT WILLING TO LEARN

Sick...

I absolutely love the hemi orange engine against the FM3 paint color.

Lot`s of projects just need to find the money and time to do them. My Barracuda is already apart due to a sticking clutch (flywheel) and is getting a complete drivetrain overhaul - transmission rebuild,  new clutch, flywheel resurface or new and hopefully new engine, the rear has already been done. My plan for the engine is small block stroker with around 500hp. I am also doing some other changes/ upgrades but not 100% sure which direction to go yet, see my other post - https://forum.e-bodies.org/cuda-and-challenger-general-discussion/2/i-have-the-urge-to-go-old-school-with-the-cuda-should-i/4546/

Of course that is just the cuda and I have a bunch of other projects as well. I am currently working on restoring a `76 clubcab short bed 4x4, have a `73 Satellite 4 dr fixing for a driver for the wife and really need to get back working on my `70 road runner some day. Then I have a `73 road runner 400 4 spd car to build for the kid someday, at least I just sold my Duster drag car so I have some money and one less project to deal with.

I always try and pick something up over the winter just to say I did or attempt to learn something.

Last year I bought a Lincoln 180 and when my car is covered up, hibernating from the winter and the garage is too cold to enjoy, I throw on my welding leathers and teach myself how to weld. Admittedly I'm terrible and right now I stick to lawn ornaments and a side table for my garage bench but someday I will be good enough to build a car.

Also to keep the winter blues away I am part of a curling league.

Looks like I'll be dropping my fuel tank, I have a low fuel pressure issue to address.

That sounds like a manageable project.  Good luck!

I just picked up a new air compressor and now I get to put in a new breaker and outlet for it.

   I ended up giving my 98 12v to my kid.  Now we are in the process of finishing up the motor and reinstalling it. Building our own custom 6 runner intake, compound turbos, etc.  So that is keeping me a little busy this winter.
