I will be in the same boat at "rackman" This winter i am going to fix my ol' Carter Carb on the YJ and start rebuilding a 2003 Rubicon that was in a flood.... Insurance Auctions are VERY nice to a good deal. Gotta Love Jeeps

I might replace the leaking o-ring on the warrior that has caused the quad to 'mark its spot' in the garage.

Thats what I do during the winter, providing theres enough snow, if not pull out the quads. I'm hoping to get a newer (2000) Arctic Cat 440 sno pro

Well, the Lotus is pretty well restored, and I think I have pretty much done all the Wolverine projects. Overhauled the diff with new seals and side bearings, Warn 424, new Tag bars and brake block off/ditch the parking brake. Also flushed and refilled all the brake circuits.

All that is left to do is ride......assuming I ever get healed up from the last crash.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]

Time to delve into my Jeep TJ build-up project... Tera CRD60 in the rear, Tera CRD50 in the front, both with Detroit lockers and disc brakes. Long arm suspension kit, Fox or Sway-A-Way coil over shocks, and 37" Goodyear MT/Rs on beadlocks...

I don't expect to be driving it until June... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I just got another project... getting my mom a toy train set for her Christmas village. Seems like a good excuse to be a kid again and play with a toy train![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I'm going to finish my hot rod, a 1970 Buick Riviera with the original 455 big block, 10.5:1 forged pistons, Poston S-Divider intake ported by Jim Burek, 850cfm Quadrajet, Stage 1 heads with big valves ported by Burek, TA Performance shorty headers, Poston strip cam, Burek TH400 with switch pitch torque converter (button on shifter, 3500/1700 rpm stall - awesome!!:-), B&M Star shifter, 3.42 posi rear, 3.5" exhaust into Flowmaster 40s, Holley electric fuel pump and regulator, 4 core HD radiator, Autometer tach and gauges, 63K original miles. I've got the major body work and drivetrain done, just need to buy wheels/tires, put a finish layer of bondo, and block sand before painting. I may farm out the final body work and paint if I can find someone local that will do a proper job without a 2nd mortgage.

The Raptor frame is going to get some gussets and powder coated. Depending on the $$ situation, I may upgrade the motor to one of Craycraft's latest creations.
