So,I've decided that my ride needs some much needed TLC. I probably won't have it out anymore until around Feburary or March. I need to get a new door for the passenger's side ,among other things. I need to come up with a game plan to tackle things that need to be done/wish list stuff,all the while working on my wife's '65 Mustang,and actually make progress on both
My "needs to be done"list so far is:
Replace door.
Inspect rear axle/change fluid,shave that damned 1" lip off the bottom and beef the cover.
Beef the front axle cover and tie rod.
Either finish the existing front bumper,or just start all over again on a new one(haven't decided which will be easier).
Finish the rear bumper and incorperate the taillight housings into it,since my factory units are almost non-existant now.
Take off the rock rails and notch the pinch rail so I can mount them up a little higher,then bolt them through the floor and weld them to the "frame rail" for added strength.
Rattlecan OD green paint job.
Now,for the "Wish" list:
Fab up a long arm kit with Johnny Joints.
Spare set of doors for offroading that are cut out w/canvas covers w/plastic windows to keep out the rain.
Weld on some SJ flares,or at least replace the broken TJ flares
Build new leaf pack and buy new coils for the front.
Bigger tires in the 35"-36" size and of the 12.50-13.50 flavor on 15X10's
GEARS!!!!!!!!!!!
So.........
What will YOU be doing this winter??!?!?!?!?? :wave:
