[HELLRAISER]

So Ive heard of a couple winter projects so far. Whats every body else up to this year? For winter projects that is.

[SuperDirty]

I'm building a new chassis(undecided on design) and a new engine. Lifting to superduty and hvae tons of small things planned for the Jeep.

[CountryBoy2784]

NO IDEAS!:crutch:

[89Orion]

....a continence of last year's winter project, unfortunately. Haven't had the energy or drive to finish it this year. I'll be still working on getting the bronco wheelable again, mostly maintenance items.

[Chapes]

1967 Kaiser is gettin a ford big block and 1 ton axles

[omlet]

[soylent_green]

I removed the beat-up box off my 78 ford. Gonna weld up mounts for the radiator, fuel cell, and an air tank. Sometime this winter, I'm gonna dovetail the front end, and build an exo-cage around the cab.

New leaf springs in the rear (one is broken!) 3-4" lift.

I like the flex of the front springs, So I'm probably going to just make 3" drop shackles out of some 1/4 inch plate.

I'm taking pictures of everything, so if you guys want I'll do a writeup on it at some point.

[Diggerz]

the plan is to put rockwells under my ford, lift it some more and put the tires i have for it on, and then i want to take out my old axles and put them in my jeep and put a small block in it. but it al requires money

[77fordf-150]

On the look out for a dana 60 to put in my 80 f250 and start on the 514 stroker.

I heard cant wait to see what turns out of there this year.

[redchevy383]

Im gonna put a 39 chevy truck body on a short box frame if i dont like that im thinkin a s-10 body got to get rid of some of that weight

[CountryBoy2784]

i just finished extreme lift on my chevy stepside pick up. but need money for 5 tons! and profab tcase, plus blah blah. hoping drive on 66's tractor tires.

PLUS

thinkin abt build new coil springs with 4 links on straight 2x4 steel rail frame. then put my first car on it, with dana 70's under it. ride on 44's boggers. possibly 385 small block in it.

[onlydriveagm]

hopping to get started on Mr. stacks wagon that has been in the planning stage for a year or so but now got most of the parts needed 86 clean Chevy wagon, 76 3/4 ton Chevy pickup, and a built up olds 350.

[BeerCan]

Small block the ranger maybe figure out some axles and tires homemade lift?

[toofast4you_yamaha]

[Chapes]

i have a ford 9" and a hp dana 44 front that would be perfect for a ranger

[redneckchevy]

74' Jeep J-20 going to build the lift,put the racing seats in, build the gauge cluster,build the motor, changing it to chevy and maybe put some tractor tires on it. Also got to fix the burban broke the front end looking to put a dana 60 in and maybe a chevy 454.

[WRECK$HIT]

well since farcus never comes on here i know his truck Still Shakin is coming apart this winter and getting some major stuff done. i will probably put up a build thread once it gets going

[wileyk]

[KyleQ]

Solid Axle Swap my F150 along with a rear shackle flip. Fix my leaky gas tank, and possibly fix my leaky exhaust :D Solid axle will be getting a complete rebuild, 4.56's, Aussie locker, Warn shafts and CTM joints.

I'm looking for a lower coil retainer setup - the upper and lower retainer that bolt onto the rad arm - if anbody has a set, I'd love to buy them.

[40chevmudder]

[Army boy]

after i get home i will start putting in my six inch lift and and get my front bumper from offroad design and get my winch mounted up want to put some bigger axels if i can find aset cheap enough. try to find a hard top for my 1979 bronco

[mudtrux]

New engine for the Sodbuster. Get my '71 Camaro drivable. I'm tearing apart the little cart and making it a 2 seater. trying to get my picnic table done.

[77fordf-150]

Hey KyleQ I have what you need.

[SNAFU]

Try to get my Suzki 850 running then get started on the 80 Monte engine. Hopefully get to the 70 Cougar this summer but that is a ways out and much $$

[TheComingCurse]

I'm trying to get my motor in the Bronco before the snow falls.
I'm thinking I'll try to get the steering and trackbar fixed before spring, and if I have time maybe i'll try and get the bowing out of my coil springs :D

[ChevyUnlimited]

383 for my 71' Nova, and as much restoring I get in before I get to antsy to test out the new motor.

Hmmm - would I need to put one on each exhaust pipe or just one?

[soylent_green]

Two would sound AWESOME!

[soylent_green]

[omlet]

[KyleQ]

[soylent_green]

The first place to start is a big TYPER badge or 5.

[joehein]

[HELLRAISER]

[DangerRanger951]

[CountryBoy2784]

I looked at my jeep yesterday, and sent my cherokee to the new owner's house.

[BeerCan]

i traded my truck i was gonna project now i have an s10 that needed a fuel pump seems as if it may turn into a winter project. Also its starting to look like my fall project of finding a job may migrate into a winter project:mad::doh::rifle::rockets:

[Diggerz]

ive got most of the parts for my jeep, just need a place to do it, sucks not having a garage

[ol'e blue]

[HELLRAISER]

No been busy doing other stuff!

No big projects this year?

[Diggerz]

Whats up with the green thing on the trailer?

green thing? by that im guessing you mean my jeep that didnt make it off the trailer last time. i was in charge of getting my ford ready and couldnt do it, and a buddy of mine and i share the jeep for now and he was in charge of that, not my deal. wished i had something to ride in though

[muddingrizz]

got a straight frame, putting rockwells under it, mounting a s10 cab wich i got with the frame, mounting the 383 with the th400 205, rear mounting the rad, roll bars and just box sides, hoping to have it done by april, it will be as short as a old shoe box bronco, also borrowing some 44 inch x 19"wide tractors till i get some $$$ saved for the boggers,:D
