Still a few things to finish on my 32 (avatar) but she is a running a driving car at the moment; I will be doing a little work on my 40 coupe after being on the road for over 6 years: pull the motor and trans to swap out the S10 4-speed for a 5-speed, do a couple maintenance items on my French block flattie while it's out, and change the 8" rear gear from 2:78 to 3:40; and probably do a little work on my 40 p-up project - it's not a flattie but will be an early 60s "look" and suspension but with a 4.3V6/5-speed combo.

Getting ready to swap a newly rebuilt 8ba into my '46 Tudor. Will also change out clutch and transmission. May replace column shift with late 50's / early 60's Hurst floor shift conversion and install tach at the same time.

Struggling with my '36 slant. Working toward firing the engine for the first time...maybe next week. Still got to put the headlights and hood on and wire the front end, all electrics from the firewall back have been finished. Finished the spare and spare tire carrier today and striped the body. I try to spend at least one hour each day buffing chrome. Currently doing the beauty rings and hubcaps. They sure do look better after they have been bench buffed.
