winter 2011-2012

Hi guys, I put the 'Ol Clunker into storage a few weeks ago. How about you? What does everyone have planned for over the winter?

Myself, I'm not going to do anything on the car but am hoping that Santa will remember a steering wheel or maybe a new floor carpet. Regardless, in the spring I want to install some much overdue shocks and springs.

WINTER SUCKS!!

I'll be putting my fastback back together, I built a heated shop a couple of years ago so I can work on my toys to help pass the winter.

Sounds like a nice car, what colour are you painting it? Are you restoring it to stock or going more the "restomod" route?

it's an S-Code so I'm keeping it stock with a few tricks to some stock parts to keep it looking original, eg. opentracker's upper and lower arms, roller spring perch, idler, stroked the date coded 390 to a 445, painted it the original Dark Moss Green... here's some pic's

Wow!..Nice shop and nice trio of fords you have there...I need to rebuild my front end but probably won't get to it till spring.

Plan to get my interior all prepped, then slap some paint on it when it's warm enough.. Then HOPEFULLY drive it this summer.

bbpschools · 02-19-2012, 10:17 PM

im still driving mine... still fairly warm here

spring official starts March 20th... just another week and a half to go! The end of winter, though, that's still a little ways off perhaps.
