Current projects?

Just curious as to what everyone is working on right now.

I am tinkering with the 2000 here and there. It has to come between the house project right now.
I started the sailboat teardown and hope to get back on it after the kitchen.
Searching for an automatic SN95 for my daughter.
Trying to buy back the 65 coupe.
And last but not least doing some 3D modeling of a concept car I have had in my head way too long.

Bill

Who won't let you park on the grass? Do like Von Braun did and concrete your whole front yard then paint it green!

I can't recommend anyone for concrete work, I had someone pour and finish my paintbooth floor, only problem is the drain sits higher than the concrete around it and I have a 3'x8' puddle. Wont give you the guys name on the public forum, but he's not in the Huntsville phonebook.
My dad hired another guy to add on to the side of an existing drive, but wound up having to replace most of the original drive after the guy cracked it all up driving his Bobcat on it. I'll see if I can get his name for you to add to the do not call list. kennyg

Current project:

1968 Mercury Cougar

Pulling in garage Friday afternoon to pull heads. Has a balanced 289 that's pulling the rocker studs out. Getting screw in studs installed.

Picked up an intake and carb from a fellow RCMC'r to install on it and bought a new HEI distributor. And got some really cool '60's valve covers on _bay.

Have all new rear brake parts: wheel cylinders, shoes, hardware, adjusters, and drums, all sitting on shelf waiting installation.

Found some disc brakes from a late '60's Ford/Mercury in one of my neighbors barns and going to see if they will clean up. Considered moving the upper control arms while it's apart.

Have an original quarter panel to replace the right side that's severely damaged/rusted and can repair the left. Floors aren't severe but have to decide on plan of repair.

Just trying to make me a fun little hotrod to run around on these Tennessee roads. kennyg

I can ask my neighbors about the conrcrete, they had there back sidewalk done fairly cheap.

My current project is an 85 5.0 that we are turning from a throttle body to a carburated car. due to money shortages it has taken about 3 months but its almost done!!!

Must be an automatic. What intake and carb are you using? Is this going to be your new daily driver and park the '68? kennyg

1) Watching my odometer so that I can pull over and take pics of 00000 and the tripometer of 000.0 (300,000).

2) Finding patience every day.

That's nice of him, helping each other out is a part of what the car hobby is all about. Also will give the tech class some low-tech experience. So is it automatic? kennyg
