That time of year

Spring is upon us and it's time to get back out and start up on the projects again. I wondered what you all have planned this year.

For me, I have a couple things to do on the B2 like valve cover gaskets and new springs. Not sure what I am going to be able to get done with the truck since money seems to be a little tight (isn't it always). I need to get the new front shocks put on and find a new place to put my amp, it gets too hot where it's at now.

Maybe if we have enough stuff going on, we can have a mod party or even make it a mod g2g this summer.

Hope to get a rear locker, rebuild the front lock outs, mount my winch, rip out the old carpeting and put down new vinyl.

I don't have a garage, just a narrow driveway. The driveway between my house and the neighbors is just wide enough to fit one truck and a person on one side. The neighbors house has some nice dark spots on the paint from the exhaust before I got it tuned. It was kind of interesting battling mother nature when putting the new intake, carb, rear axle seal, pinion seal, desmog, etc. But I couldn't wait for the weather to break.

After work, my therapy is a couple of beers and some wrenches.

I'm going to try to get the body lift on Jr. (with clints help in the next week). Then a few little things and it might even start and run before I take it in to have the rear axle done. Just comes down to $$$'s. Should really get some other things taken care of first. But I get the bug to work on it some more soon.

Well I got alot left to do to da beast, she needs the front axle installed and then on to droping in the motor and tranny and getting her to run. Then I got to get started on the wiring, gonna rewire the starter switch, fuel pump, ignition, backup lights, driving lights, KC's, and flood lights. then rewire the headache rack for the beacons and running lights. Then rewire the trailer lights and brake controler. argggghhhh, I got more to do that I want lol

I'm in the process of getting the donor engine put into the 78 Bronco and then all the little stuff to get it running and road/off road worthy. Once that it done(hopefully in the next couple of weeks) I'm going to put the 54 F250 in the garage for some major body work and restofying.

I am planning on swapping in the np205 I picked up, and moving my fuel tank to the box. And if money grows on trees, I'll plant one and get a lift and tires..lol.

No real plans for me. This job I have is allowing me maybe 1 day off per week. That gives me no time to do any projects nor participate in any of the hobbies I have!!!!

As soon as my tax refund gets here I'm getting a full turbo back 4inch kit and an ATS ported turbo housing. OH yea and some new shocks but those arent as fun as the other stuff.
