Try to get this thing more driver freindly. 1930 Original Model "A" If it costs too much its going to turn into a rod project.

Thats the body I want for a "rat rod", it would be a shame to cut that that one up though.

I sold my 67 bird 2 years ago, guy that bought it raced it 3 times, sold the engine to someone back east, he then added rack and pinion steering to the car along with TRZ upper and lower A-arms and strange front brakes. I just bought it back from him last weekend!! So this winter I'm pulling it all apart for paint, new drivetrain, minitub, and maybe I'll swap the 8.5 10 bolt for a 9"

My poor Catalina, I need to start paying some attention to her! I have a new cam to put in, and also want to change the appearance with the open wheelwells instead of the skirts thanks to Jim (66Bonne) for the trim.

I am freshening the 461 and having SD work my KRE d ports over.

Also taking the body off the frame on the 67 GTO and fixing a couple of rotten body braces and frame mount locations. A new set of urethane body bushings is going on to get the body mounted up again.

Hopefully an 11.xx pass in full street trim with no "cheater" tires this spring.

Need to finish front panel hood grill fender alignment on the wifes 69 bird. Hasnt been right since aftermarket fenders 4 years ago(may patch up the old fenders and start over. Got to do the convertible top too. Plus my Ford project needs more time and attention.

Finishing the 68 Lemans frame off restoration (roller)

Converting the 79 TA to Manual Brakes and Manual Steering. Hopefully time permitting I can get the 3.75s out and replace them with 4.10s before the new season begins

Continue working on an 80 TA Restoration.
