    Just thought I’d see if anyone has any great plans for their cars this winter?

    I’m going to send the chrome lid for my air cleaner off to be re-chromed … I might purchase new door latch mechanisms and have a shop install them this spring (they are worn out).

    Other than that I’m going to create a website from my car with a bunch of photos, and videos … if someone wanted to toss down a real number for the car I would probably sell it …

    Need to do some maintenance work on the car, clean up the engine bay… normal routine stuff!

    Plan on taking the parts where I did the faux woodgrain overlay and having them hydrodipped.
    Also thinking about having the rear rims widened so I can run 305’s

    After this HOT summer I will be installing A/C in my car.I picked up a complete unit a couple of weeks ago.I just have to check for leaks ,install a new heater core,driers, and what ever else it needs.The main thing is that I got the factory heater box and duct work.

    Pull the engine on the 63 Merc and get that rebuilt, get the radiator on the 53 redone along with a rebuild on the tranny. New door mechs on the 53, I’m getting sick of the door flying open when I go around a corner. And if I have time left over a paxton supercharger for the Shelby.

    sounds like a very full winter for you

    and comparable with painting in price. I think it would look more like actual wood. Of course something like that pattern would look pretty awesome too.
