2022 Model "A" Resolutions

Well both of my Model A's will finish 2021 in undriveable condition as a result of bad practices on my part.
So I resolve for CY 2022 and thereafter, (1) never to let my Coupe deteriorate from lack of use and maintenance, (2) not to drive my Victoria or my Coupe over 60 mph again, (3) to restore my Coupe to excellent operating condition, and (4) to finish the little things I skipped over in the restoration of my Victoria.
What are your Model "A" resolutions?
 
Get my roadster out of storage and actually put some miles on it.
Fire up the Rdst. PU and drive it.
Finish the chassis of my 36 Fordor and get a running chassis by the end of the year.
Finish my shop.
 
  • Finish my video series on precision timing the Nu-Rex auto advance
  • Complete instrument panel repairs on the coupe and get it ready to sell
  • Pull the engine from the phaeton and do a complete inspection
  • Get the engine back in the phaeton!
 
Waiting for my new inserted engine and Mitchel syncro trans. Bought a ton of new stuff so I can walk to the bench when putting it all back together. No more long distance touring.
 
Finally 85% complete on the revival of my 31 Roadster. Just need a top and a little upholstery work. Drive it all I can when spring comes. Maybe short trips until my outdated "roller" tires start to give up, then buy new ones. Last time I drove it regularly was in 1958, then drove it a couple of times last fall after it was painted. Now sleeping for the winter (the A that is, not me). Merry Christmas everyone!!
 
2022 calendar has rebuild rear end in one coupe and build SOHC for other.

Merry Christmas and Hopefully Happy New Year, Y'All!!
 
I bought new tires and painted my Tudor (Sadie) in 2020 but have yet to drive it any distance to show it off to club members, so I'll be driving her if I have to pay $5+ for gas. Also I now have the confidence to paint my '30 Cabriolet (Monique). Just waiting for decent weather. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to ALL. LRF
 
1. Drive my A more
2. Help my Model A club in planning additional tours
3. Help fellow Model A enthusiasts keep their As running
4. GO to the MARC event in June in Morgantown PA-----plan on driving there with other Model A friends.
 
I resolve to find why my 29 coupe keeps blowing the fuse and find the short that is causing it, and to reupholster the seat and back. Then drive to the creamer stand once it warms up in the spring.

The brake light switch was the culprit in my case.

I need to find out why there is low compression in two cylinders in my town sedan. My roadster is pretty good, but it needs new tires (ordered) and to install the cast iron drums I bought a few years ago.
 
Drive the A more-as to a new house in the Seattle area. Stuff the engine and ****** in my 57 wagon. Move, join a new club and I am sure a whole boat load of other things. Have a great holiday everyone.
