2018 - The Year to 'Git After It
Welcome to the future!
Alright folks, we're going to dispense with the tired resolutions about weight, exercise, smoking, and assorted personal vices. You can wrassle with those demons as you wish. Here, were going to commit to Finishing Something in '18.
What task, act, or (dare I say) project will you make a public vow? Keep in mind, we'll be reviewing these in twelve months, so no back sliding!
Whatcha got?

OK, my turn.
This year I plan to get the '49 F3 assembled and road worthy enough to drive from Maine to the Penn truckstock. Right now it is just a frame with the driveline roughly bolted in. The rebuilt 226 engine hasn't been fired up yet. Bodywork isn't done. The body is in 1,500 unassembled pieces at the moment.
I can't do anything until the weather warms up in April or May.
It was -20 degrees this morning and I have an unheated one-car garage.
Needless to say I have to get my **** in gear when things warm up.
