This may sound odd to most of you but, I'm looking foward to weekend cruisin. 60-80 degree winter days. Don't have a/c in the Mav. so it's the best time to ride without sweating your tail off. But I do have a list of things I want to do during the summer when it's too hot to cruise. Replace front and install rear sway bars Change 8" rear gears to 3.55? Install factory A/C Install white face gauges Change bulbs in gauges Oh yeah, I forgot, this is the Drag Racing Forum. My goal is to go faster.

I'm going to try and concentrate on the body-work this winter, and if I have time for anything else, then so be it. Here's my plans for the body. Preston Body- Front Chin Spoiler Rear Grabber Spoiler Cowl hood (have) New passenger door Torino/Ranchero sport mirrors Remove maverick emblems from fenders Remove LDO trim Weld trim-holes shut Delete any unnecessary chrome pieces Notch rear Valence for exhaust (?) Sand/Primer Paint (?) Aftermarket tube-type grill Suspension- Sub-frame connectors New 4 leaf rear Leaf springs (have) Front Disc brake conversion (have) I have a long list, but I guess I got enough here for the winter, and the rest of my life for the rest huh? I'm actually shooting for 1 1/2 to 2 years for the rest of the project. We'll see! Preston
Jerry,, real goals,,, and a realists. I hope we all are round here too. I find that at 47 I am realizing that I may have more projects than I have time to finish. But from what I have seen, the guys with the most projects on the horizon ( the ones that actually work to complete them) live the longest, and a big scoop of a whole lot of luck. That health thing looms out there for us. A line from my favorite movie " Youth is wasted on the young" Dan
My goal this winter is to sometime start disassembling.....oh fun! Until that happens my other goal is to just get myself to start goin junk shoppin for the car.....fun fun fun!
