2009 New Years Resolutions

That time of year again...
what are your truck related resolutions?
Feel free to post your non truck related resolutions too if it helps keep you accountable!

My truck related resolution is to complete my frame including brakes. I hope to save enough to lower it a bit via dropped axle and/or springs. I will also at least get my cab in primer.

For non truck items, I'm gonna get my front end done and my rear end done!

Happy New Year Guys!

Survive the faltering economy. Then when I think I'll survive, I hope to finish paying off these darn medical bills. Then when that's done, I hope to get my frame blasted and painted, and ready for the put-together stage. Meanwhile putz on my tbird and if I'm lucky, get the rotiserrie built. But without work, nothing will get done. Circling the wagons per se.

Happy New Year just the same, though!!!

Then I would like to get the doors on 55 adjusted better so that it doesnt feel like I am riding down the road with the doors open and 2nd on the truck related is either
A. Get my OLD AIR Products heat and air unit to work better or
B. Rip it out and go underdash air or with VA, HRAir, or maybe Classic Air.

I know good performing ac and unadjusted doors is not the recipe for success but my current ac units leaves much to be desired. Happy New Year

Well I was contemplating purchasing an air conditioning unit and was looking at the Old air unit but think I just got a heads up, will have to do some more research. Other plans are to get the body back on the frame for the last time, brake and fuel lines plumbed, and whatever else I can afford, happy new year everyone.

May have to slow things down on the old truck. My basement flooded 2 days before Christmas when we got a snow thaw and a lot of rain. Had a guy out yesterday to have a look and he figures the tiles around the footing of the house have plugged up.Have to exavate all around house and replace tiles.$4000.00 OUCH!! Oh well thats live. Still should get lots done. I am doing body now and have all the stuff already. Just need some bondo and primer to keep me going. A few nights of kraft dinner instead of steak will cover the difference.LOL
