Default What's your winter project?

Since it's about that time for a lot of us northerners to put the cars away for the season... what are you doing to your car this winter?

I don't have a lot planned, just little things like hiding the coils, getting an Auto Meter in-dash digital shift light, etc. I'm also thinking about being proactive with a new clutch. But I think my main focus is to finally finish off the inside of my garage.

What's keeping you busy this winter?

First of all finishing off my new 3 car garage (25x35) since I am retiring from the military in a couple weeks and moving back to TX. But I do have plans for the car like installing some B-Quiet sound deadner, a new shifter, some of Autometer's new American Muscle gauges when they come out and Digitails LED tail light kit.

Since its the mid 40's right now, with a 10 knot north wind, Its' really not that cold, I was born in CT. and love the cold weather, I sat on the couch with my LS1 harness in my lap marking the parts to be removed!


Since its nice and cool and DRY in FL, this is when I really get the most of my work done, will tear down the rear this week, start drilling out the spot welds for the mini tubs, and time for a little engine mock up work......


forgot to say I was watching the missing person show with Lapagla can't remember the name...

building a 40x80x12 shop with 25x40 living quarters.
Although, it may roll into May before we are fully finished and ready to move in.

Luckily here in OK, we have pretty nice winters with only a few snows a year. Once the shop is done, I will be able to get back to work on the 68'!

My plans for the car are to drive the crap out of it, working out any bugs, in anticipation of a full summer of driving.

My winter project? Installing a LS1 engine in the stock (rear) location of my corvair mated to a porsche 911 transmission. Bolting up some wilwoods from Prodigy so's I can actually stop the thing, and possibly a better, more permanent flat black/ gloss black paintjob. And i gotta patch my quarter panel. Should be awesome when done.
