Well I have to fix the engine in my sled right away, then we talked about freshening up the interior in the 77 F150. We may decide on other things as the winter moves on.

No fun winter projects for me, starting some schooling in january that will take just about a year to complete, so that makes for a very boring winter!

Not much happening here John, I still have to fix the transmission leak on my 61 uni body.
Good news, sounds like your keeping your F150!

I plan on getting some work done on the 51 now that I have the house renos caught up. I also have a few things to do to the PSD such as the hutch and harpon mod.

Home renos here. No heated work shop here.
The renos I hope will make the house warmer and neater. My wifes boxes of books in the diningroom and other bedroom sure take up the room. So making bookcases for her reading material will help.
