Welp, it’s that time of year again. The time of year we say goodbye to a previous set of disasters only to set ourselves up for yet another set of disasters with many of those being the disasters we said we’d fix last year!
![]() ![]() So with that, what’s your disaster relief plan next year?? ![]() ![]() ![]() For me, I’ve got several; 1. Get the Crusty Cuda ready for paint. 2. Get the body for the BMW 507 project built and home safely 3. Find a car to bring to MCACN (which I think I did ![]() So what do you have going on? Post up and let us know!!! ![]() ![]() ![]() Cheers ![]() Dave |

Bill: I will drop off a flux capacitor when I pick up my floor mats. :-)
My 2019 Muscle car related goals: Reduce my ET by one tenth..... I am going back to excercise classes solely to reduce elapsed times :-) Complete the 40 item list of small items to “complete” my Cutlass. (Never done) Start freelancing for MuscleCar Review, Bone Stock & Modified Muscle Cars, and Hemmings Muscle Machines. (I don’t care if they want me to or not, I am just going to start submitting kick ass stories with kick ass pictures and see what happens) Plan and start a MSU Project W31 V2.0 build. (I have already started the discussions with the students, not sure how this will work) there are a dozen “students” and 3 geeks so it will take some careful deliberations to find a Project that honours the Project W31. Plan and build a down and dirty, crazy low dollar 1969 Cutlass S or F85 on a convertible frame (6 banger and three on the tree is already on order) to drive year round. I will try driving an old car.... it has to be possible!!! Hit the drag strip for the first time ever!!! I plan to race at a local track early in the summer, then NOCC (Northern Ohio Cutlass Club.... but it is all Chevelles....) then my absolute ultimate pinnacle goal of building my car....... PSMCDR..... I plan to volunteer at a local hot rod shop one night a week to gain experience, maybe Legendary Motor Cars needs a CSO??? chief sweeping officer? I plan to do one of my hair brained plans involving a local high school, kids I hire as tradespersons or future tradespersons need to do some stuff before asking to work for me, (I often wonder how I worked at an industrial factory on night shift by myself at 19 taking care of whatever electrical or mechanical issues came my way?????) I feel I need to be part of the solution like Mike Rowe I think these are my top items. If I took some time I know there are more!!! Ryan W31

Get the Chevelle done in time and without going broke.
Get caught up on customer restorations so I can plan my retirement in 10 years LOL. Hire another resto tech and get our new storage warehouse organized. Get Annie's Honey Do list done. Lose 20 lbs (if I get all the above done that will happen naturally).

Any plans I may have had for buying a muscle car in 2020 will have to go on a back burner. Major goal, in fact only goal, for 2020 is to buy a house - current rental lease expires in July. Really don't want to extend it another year. Based on my market (ABQ, NM) I am going to have good news: price of homes here is stagnant/dropping and bad news: interest rates are going up.

Like Doug, I would like to get my Camaro into the 10s. Doug already did it, so now I want to do it. Maybe the tunnel ram and 5.29 gears will get me there, and learning to shift gears quicker. I also need to sell off a bunch of these parts that are sitting around that I'm never going to use.
