I've seen this thread on other sites , i'm not sure if one has been on here before.

It can be on anything , dont limit it to just your car 
examples :  family hauler , farm truck , lawn tractor , snow blower ,
woodworking project , etc etc  


its a good way to keep  motivated on your project/s .....  if your like me , somtimes you need a just a little incentive everynow & then to get back on track

Well, not today, but yesterday I pinched off the rear flex line on my 92 Explorer so my mechanic could take it to the shop to prep for winter beating.....uh I mean driving... :) John

Insulating the new shop.

On the 67' GP,

Played with the timing, found 4 btdc to be the ping line with Sunoco 87.
Set the dwell.
Cleaned the front windshield with rainx pre cleaner, then rainx.
Detailed the dash a little bit.
Added air to the tires.
Looked underneath it...damm it's nice!
Looked at all the new oil spots on the driveway since I got it.

The Odyssey,

Rainx'ed the windshield.
Cleaned it up a bit inside for the Hershey trip tommorrow.

Tried to make room for two boats. Agonized on how I'm going to afford two old cars.

Monday nite -- put the Liberty up on stands , took tires off & started to make a list tuesday nite -- went to my dads & started to re assemble the front suspension on his 67wagon all new bushings , next comes the 4 wheel disc install weds nite -- dimantled the brakes on the liberty , drained oil & coolant

Took my 62 Parisienne on it's first drive since I finished putting it back together. The 283 pulls really hard. Forgot how much I love those engines. Also ad it appraised and took some pics for insurance renewal.

Put up some industrial shelving in the basement to store my parts. Installed heaters & drywall in the detached garage where 3 or 4 of the cars will live in the winter.

Spec'd out ramps for winter storeage. Looking to put about 6 to 10 cars away. Ramps are expensive boys, about $2,300 for 17 footers with 4,800 lb capacity.

Finaly installed my axles on the Beaumont. Then the Wife called me in to finish painting the living room. Dam !!

I'm about 1200 kilometers away from my car and driveway............

Didn't do anything in the driveway or garage, went and dropped my new car off for storage(temporarily)...Some neat stuff parked out there, owner didn't want a lot of pics taken.
Did manage to get a couple data tags. You'll have to tell me what kind of car they are...LOL

Made a custom mount for the coil pack on my LS-powered '64 Parisienne.

Holy Crap,someone that still breaks down their own Tires!!

Blue tag guess- Parisienne 2 dr ht, build Dec 1, not sure what year, powerglide Red tag, early Nova 2 dr ht, and it's an SS to boot. How am I doing?

no room to do anything in either of my garages so I rented a 27 x 38 shop with a 27 x 14 loft. No heat but it has hydro. $250 a month all in. Plan to rent 2 spot for winter storage. Get rid of a lot of stuff from my garage so I have room to finish the 67 Mustang this winter.

Got my tractor tire weights (about 90 lbs. each) out of the shed, and ready to throw/secure into the box of my GMC.

yesterday. my friend brought his 57 chev truck over. - brazed a couple hole in the window frame. - straightened the hood mounts in the hood (looks like it was flipped up at one time) - straightened the lower valance (used but cheap) - mig'd in the passenger floorboards - went thru 3 pots of coffee

i started to take the safari apart so it can go onto the rotisserie now that i have the impala almost finished.

My Plate arrived !  I am contemplating installing the license plate which is a lot of work lol, I have to go get the 68 parts car & steal the lic plate door....

Other than that, had to install a new waterer for the horses last night in the cottinpikin stinkin wind, and fix some fences to keep the critters, 2 horses and a donkey from roamin the wide open prairies !! I was told by my neighbor, GET YOUR ASS OFF THE ROAD !!! if you know what I mean lol, my donkey likes to wander...
