Show us your winter or current projects.

Here is mine: a 57 D.D. panel.

Here is a picture of the right rocker in ready for the floor.

Now i am working on the quarter panels.

It is a slow process..........but now that we have moved hopefully the pace will pick up

I have 3 currently. This is my '56 Oval. If I don't sell it I will be trying to gather up the last few parts I need and paint it by this time next year

This is my 1969 GTO Judge. I am almost done reassembling and detailing it. I just need to find some time.

This is what it looked like 5 years ago:

Finally, here's my '70 GTO. I just got it this summer so I have done nothing to it yet.

Putting my baja together mainly
Putting new pans and 3 inch lifted spindles and all new brakes along with tie rods and all that good stuff.

Got one side done picking up my other pan after Thanksgiving.

Maybe painting it in the winter but not sure.

Here is my new project. I'll have it back on the road in no time. It only has 40,000 miles, and only about 3 owners. It's been sitting since the 80's. It should be here on Saturday :lol:

my project this winter is gathering enough money (read here : paying off enough dept) to be able to fix my cargo floor next year (so i can hopefully get some heat)... expected to cost me about 1000$ to do it myself (welding mask, gaz tank, gaz, etc)

It's almost unfair to call that a project. Nice find.

Damn Lid I didn't know you were a poncho fan, I'm working out a deal on a '68 Goat myself. 8) I also have my eye on a bullet nose panel and this '77 Can Am.

Started cutting last weekend. This should be fun.

I figure I have about 3 more weekends of cutting out to do, then no telling how long to put it back together.

Man Lid you did an awesome job on that goat. 8) You putting hide aways in it or the regular open headlights?
Good luck with the 70 . Hope to work on my 69 one of these days.

I can't take credit for the body/paint on the Judge. It was done by a friend of mine in Virginia. No hideaways on this one. I am keeping it stock and original with the exception of the addition of disk brakes and a console.
