Got one??? Any plans??? There was a time that I looked fwd to the New Year, plans were made to see and do new things, go places, meet new ladies but now at this age, the only thing I plan is to try and make it to another New Year and have fun along the way with whatever comes.

This year, I have Sarah to enjoy and I think it will be a very good year.

To all here, hope it's a good year for you too.

Peace, happieness...oh on my car, seat belts and install my stipe shocks.

Rowdy · 01-01-2015, 09:28 AM

First order of things is to get the wood done for the delivery. Next will be to fix the frame. Body work soon to follow now that I have found a somewhat local body man to repair the rear panel and door. Beyond the delivery I still have a steep hill to climb with med bills.

Live, love and enjoy whenever and however I can. Happy New Year.

Great Lakes Greg · 01-01-2015, 09:50 AM

Selling off three A's, and restoring one of the remaining two.
I love all of them, but less is more.

Picked up a '31 town sedan in early Dec., been sitting in a garage since 1959, after I get the engine running and looking decent, and the brakes doing what they are supposed to, I plan on driving the car on or before March 20th, after that it's just body, paint, electric/wiring/lights and interior.
The interior will take the longest, have to hand make/shape some of the wood.
Should be a very, very good year for this 84 year old sleeping beauty.

Same goals as last year, get Dad's '31 Roadster running, the '12 running, make progress on the '29 Steelback and my '30 Roadster, try to understand automotive wiring. I'd like to hit a few things on my Bucket List, Pebble Beach and Bonneville Speed Week are still on the top. Bob

Ditto for me on the grammer and spelling... I just tend to be in too much of a hurry... I should without question write better..

My grammer passed away in 1967. I sure miss her.

Try to change the names of two mountains here in Washington State due to the 1858 Yakama War;

Finish my unpublished 1858 Yakama War document;

Try to find out, hopefully, the remaining opening dates for the remaning Ford assembly plants for Model A production on 1928;

Get my ass in gear for the 2015 Northwest Regional Meet in Walla Walla June 23-27, 2015;

Finish asembling my early 1929 Model A Tudor Sedan;

Lose some weight.

Looking forward to some travel this year. We plan on the Lighthouses & Lobster Tour and several regional meets. Hope to see many of you along the Model A highway this year.

Logan · 01-01-2015, 05:54 PM

Plan on finishing my tudor phaeton project (by june if a miracle happens). Also put my speedster motor together and put an overdrive in it. Then i also need to to get my coupe put back together once ron kelley gets done with that motor. Lots of things to get done with so little time to do them all.

My 2015 goals are to finish some of my far too many projects (maybe our 29 Phaeton), and to buy a house large enough to hold all of our antiques.

Russ B · 01-01-2015, 07:22 PM
