Thought I would start a thread and see what everyone is working on over the winter? Share some details and pics if you have any and keep us updated throughout the cold months of western Pa...

Well my project will probably drag through at least this winter and next, but hopefully will be done for summer 2013. Anyways a friend of mine and I have begun work on my 33 Ford Truck. It is a complete frame off build with a 1960's style Hot Rod theme. It will see most of it's time on the street but will be built to handle a couple passes down the 1320.

Engine for now is a full roller 406 SBC with a tunnel ram and 2x4's. Estimated crank HP is between 480-520. However this could change... I have some other ideas/options that are a little more radical. Transmission will be a built 700R with a 3200-3600 stall. Putting it to the ground will be a Ford 9in. posi with 4:56 gears.

As far as looks... the truck will be gloss black. Wheels will be the old-style Hailabrand kidney bean slots. Interior will be black with a set of 60's style bucket seats. A simple 4-point roll bar will help stiffen up the truck/chassis. The body of the truck will be channeled 1-2 inches over the frame, with about a 3 inch chop to the roof, while the bed will also be shortened about 6-8 inches to match the rest of the body lines appropriately.

Anyways... this is where I'm at now. Been gathering parts for a few months and it is time to get started. Let the games begin...

What else is being built out there?
