Spring projects.
OK, daylight savings time starts in a couple of weeks and we will have more daylight at the end of the day. What non truck Spring projects do you all have planned to get done when the weather is nicer?
I need to get the trim on my house painted this spring.

Got a long list. Bought a tv for the garage, now need to get cable run out their before NASCAR switches to cable for the last half of the season. Insulation, sheetrock,build a vacuum sanding table, rain guttering, get the boat out of their and see if it still knows how to float, ect, ect, on and on.

Finish Carolyn's rock garden. Put a door in the Garage, rewire part of the garage, and maybe insulate it.
Lynn I have all the tools to do the cable if you need help, maybe even the cable and ends :-).

Finishing our little rock "garden" in front of the house, fix all the house trim that I have busted in the 1 years that we have lived in this house, tint the truck and the wife's Grand Prix GT's windows, replace a couple of spliced wiring harnesses and trim pieces on my cutlass, insulate the pipes that were freezing this winter, etc, etc,
Ohhhh man, do I actually WANT spring to get here?

lol, I didn't go anywhere, I am just a lurker on this site 
I really do plan on hooking up and chatting with some of you guys, things have just been pretty busy around the house lately and my wife's great-grandmother was extremely close to leaving us in the Marysville hospital. I was planning on making it to one of the G2G's until that happened, it landed on the same weekend.
Unfortunately the truck has been ignored lately, money was tight until tax returns came in. I need to rebuild the carb and figure out why I am getting fuel in the crankcase, and I need to get it figured out before camping/fishing season hits. I can't wait till I can sleep under the stars again this year

That is my thoughts as of right now, and that the carb is dumping gas in too. They are both on the 2-do list. I will plan on picking up a carb kit and a fuel pump as soon as the weather turns for the better and we start getting more days like yesterday. Anyone local know much about building 2-bbls?

I've taken a couple apart and replaced gaskets and cleaned things up. I don't know if most Ford fuel pumps are the same, but I have a couple laying around that are probably good if you want to try one of them. They would be off of V8's.

Sounds like a plan, thanks for the help guys. Looking forward to meeting up.....sometime lol . I may take you up on the fuel pump offer husker, but do you think the V-8's would swap with a I-6?
