Skate And Destroy
Disc brake conversion/front end rebuild, steering column refurb/convert to floor shift. Possibly clean up some engine bay wiring. Install new carpet and package tray. New trunk mat. Mostly just replacing worn out stuff, no major dis-assembly. I have most everything on hand already. Also want to get an air fuel gauge and do some tuning. I'll drive it until the road salt comes.
Well, the GTX is getting it's lower rear qtrs worked on, and I'll be pulling the trans to change the converter, and finally get that leak fixed. I've pinpointed it to the shift lever pivot seal!!
The 66 will also be getting it's trans pulled to finally fix that freeze plug thats been leaking for the past, oh I don't know how many years!!
I'll also be pulling the dash and windshield on Nella's car to redo both. I'm going down to my buddies soon to pull a spare dash out, yep, after about 3 years in the planning stage!!
As for the van?? I'd like to find a pair of 91-98 Dakota spindles and drop the front end down, then get the back lowered to match. Send out the motor and have it rebuilt as well as the trans and finish the rear end.
For the Signet...I'd like to get to cutting and replacing the floorpan and trunkpan I have ready for it, and send the body off to paint, but thats a big plan there!!
So, all in all, just sittin' on the couch as usual!!!LOL!! Geof

Install everything from headliner to engine and everything in between .... hoping to be able to drive the 67 dart to Moparfest in August.... likely without paint
My '67 Dart will be getting a D66 dual quad setup and swapping the automatic for a 4 speed. I will also be doing a lot of work in the trunk area. Going to install a whole new trunk pan. I have also considered buying a new set of rally wheels to replace the aftermarket wheels I have now. Also going to try and get the interior redone.
Not that it needs it, but..(keeping it slippery) Change out all my U-joints and that will do it because all my wheel and axle bearings got dun a year ago..change out my small front drums to 9'' and install my dual pot M.C. and new rubber lines..
Put my frame connectors in then por15 my floor and install quite mat and put my new gold Carpet in. All these parts are here on the hill ( but not por15) waiting on me.. It's going to be a good winter now that I have a nest
to keep Victoria and I warm and dry :glasses7:
Oop's!!! almost forgot :glasses7: buy a front sway bar and install it Adam.

Pull the stock 318 out of my sons 70 Swinger. Paint the engine bay and install a 340 and 4speed conversion. Already got the 8 3/4 rear done. And I painted the hood scoops white to match.

I have started to do rust repair and paint. Thankfully I live in a warmer climate and can still paint up into the winter months.
Ok, seriously:
71 Challenger convert is in the body shop getting any bad spots replaced with new AMD metal. And redo complete interior (already on order).
Get new front and rear suspension on kid's 71 Valiant 4 door. Finish building a 91 360 for it, get the engine compartment painted.
If time permits build a few of the 360's I have around here.

life is getting better!!
Where do I start. New Champion rad to keep things cool, front disc brakes to get things stopped. Pull out my motor to replace the 13:1 pistons ( a bit much for a street car). Possibly paint the engine bay while my motor is out and also pull the tranny to put new seals to stop the puddles on the gararge floor. That will probably be all I will get off my list for this year. Thankfully we have winters so I can get things done!! LOL
