winter projects

[1fst400]

Any of you guys starting projects to keep you busy durring the winter months.

I had been kicking tires on a shifter kart project, thinking about doing an over haul to my quad.

But I think i have settled on throwing a power adder to my 87 mustang. Im thinking of going with a cupple kkk k26's under the hood ( small fast spooling turbos off audi a4). should be a fun project.

what are you guys staring?

Well I'm bringing my 250r down here, and my Buick Regal at the end of december. The R I'm hopin to have it done by the end of spring. This winter I will be saving up money for a 400+ horse power motor I'm goin to be builing for the buick in about 8 months, and a parallel 4 link goin in the back, and who knows what else.

Not really starting, but we get the most work done in winter on my Challenger. Hopefully get some floorpans, rear quarter, and front fenders put up on their this winter.. I doubt it, but maybe we'll get some done. Mainly just go out their almost every day and wire brush or sandblast away on it. Its fun and keeps me busy.

any one has a bottom end or any other parts let me know

And probly just do some misc stuff to it.

Swapping all my good parts from my 85 blazer, to my new clean frame and body, I have to weld on new leaf spring mounts, put my 4 speed tranny onto my motor, I'm taking some steps back, but it will all be worth it in the end. :devil:

Buy a gallon of rustoleum paint, and a gallon of reducer from pep boys or somwhere. You can get that paint to look pretty good, and it holds up surprisingly well. If you can get a spray gun, and a compressor then you can get a really good paint job for under 50 bucks.
