Try to get the Olds painted and running, possibly get the 302 and C4 mounted in the Vicky, although the last is pretty low on the list.

At the moment I'm waiting on a new gas valve for the garage furnace. No heat in there all last winter, not a good situation for comfortable work.

Oh, that and all winter my brother's car was in my garage. Every time I had a little garage time when it was anything close to warm enough I was working on his instead of mine.

I finished building some walls in the basement and now will be adding shelves for storage tubs. The plan is to get organized and get the garage cleaned out so I can work on the truck again. It's either that or put up signs in the garage so I know which path to take to get to the other side.

I'm saying I have burnout, not doing burnouts. My car project is put in the corner for the winter. I did that about 2 months ago. I'm disapointed. I thought I had a rust free builder, but found someone had been creative with fiberglass and body filler. It needs quarters and a full trunk floor. I need to put it all back together to get things aligned before starting that. I just don't feel like that right now.
The 'net gets me in more trouble. I have always been a tractor pull fan. I have pulled garden tractors but got out. I would love to pull the big boys but my city life doesn't allow that. On the 'net I found guys pulling 1/5 scale radio controlled tractors. I couldn't resist and started building one. Chain saw power. They are expensive for what they are but very cheap compared to the real thing. Here is a photo of one (not mine)http://xa.yimg.com/kq/groups/16797646/homepage/name/727485?type=sn
