Well with all this time off what are your plans ? I’m gonna try and finish up my bathroom project I started a few weeks back.

Only issue with this bodystyle is the limited amount of repop parts available. I had to find a clean one in Arizona and basically have the entire passenger side shipped to me.
 
I really need to make good use of this time.
I have a flooring project I've been putting off
that I really need to dive into!
 
Working on my latest project. 82 Grand Prix putting in a 5.3 LS waiting for 1 more head to get done before reassembling. Adding a BTR stage 2 cam did the trunion upgrade. Hope the truck intake will fit under the factory hood if not we will have to find another style. TH400 and a 9 inch from Quick Performance. We will use the Holley Terminator X and hope to have it ready for Drag week in September. Next year we will add a single 75mm Turbo.

a buddy’s dad has one that looks just like this with 26k miles on it. Won’t sell it, I ask him every few months lol. Looks like a fun build.
 
miscellaneous things on 66 mustang (swap out radiator with larger aluminum one, change U bolts on Axle)
Lightning: bump washer, change plugs, oil change re-wire the datalogging port, have front rotors turned,

House: see if I can talk my wife into painting the kitchen cabinets. then do back splash and then last, new counter top.

Thank you! was hard to find a clean unmolested G Body. Found this one up in Bay City. The outside appearance will look the same. Got a set of 15" wheels and 15" Pontiac wire caps. Will add some fake white walls to the drag radials. Going to surprise some people with this granny car lol
 
Finishing up a bunch of house projects, mostly odds and ends. I have to wrap up my T45 swap in the 51 F1, I've been lazy about it for the last few weeks.

It's amazing that model year ('73 I'm assuming) was the highest selling. Yet, these days it's really hard to find good body parts for the '71-'74s.

Crazy that 10 years ago that body style of charger or satellite was dirt cheap, now they are becoming sought after. I should pick up a couple volare’s and sit on them lol.

When I bought my 1969 Mustang in 2001/2002 they weren't really sought after either. Everyone wanted 65-68s. No good repop parts were available. No doors, only floor sections, no full quarters. Now you can buy a whole assembled she'll lol. Actually the 71-73s are up there in value, all year coupes are $$ (fastbacks are $$$$$$) and the Mustang2 is making a comeback for restomods
 
I was already nearing the completion of an additional bathroom so now it just means during the week my time has been re dedicated to it. I have a fleet of boats to get ready for the season and I hope to start working on them soon. I'm sure through all of this I wont miss a day of work, they will just be longer and more challenging days because why not.
 
Well as of now I’m still working, Fca has deemed us viable employees lol. I might just volunteer Friday for a lay-off.
 
Now that we've been sent home, I just plan to do some yard work, get the garage straightened out, and minor things on my truck that I've put off because they aren't important...fresh hinge bushings, getting the 3rd door to open and such.

Probably make a few projects with the lathe and welder, if I can get materials.
