Default Winter projects

I got all the parts to build a 354 stroker. When I get caught up on the other projects, I'm going to build the motor and swap them in the Cobra. I also have a shift light to install. I have a hard top that needs some work to fit and paint. I'm trying to add 20' x 50' onto the back of my shop with a bath room. I'm going to hire someone to do most of that work. Installing a 450' water line may be the hardest part of that project. We have worked 7 days a week at the job for 3 or 4 months and that cut into my fun time. But I got three days off for the new years and 50 things to do. Got to go beadblast some car parts, pick up a motor, some shelves, go for a ride before it rains.

See ya in Ohio in June

UPDATE Saturday; I installed the shift lite. Bleadblasted a timing chain cover and clear coated it. Polished on the aluminum hood scoop I bought at LCS 06. I have plans of getting old Shelby to sign it. It will look great on the shop wall. Parrish came out to the shop and took me for a ride in his E-M Cobra. I video about 20 minutes of the ride and was able to burn 17 minutes onto a DVD. 55 degrees, not bad for winter. It started raining about noon and rained all night. Sunday; For my wifes birthday I installed 60' of chair rail in the hall / foyer. I will finish that project Monday. I hope. The weather will be sunny and 55 - 60 degrees Monday and Tuesday. Maybe I'll get to drive my Cobra and get Doc to do the video'ing??
