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?

Winter, what's that?

Nice thread Scott!! Unfortunately for me though winter brings the bad weather which severely impacts my work, which means a ton of OT.

My plans though when I don't have to work is start fabbing the core support and air intake, fab and the dash, send it to Ironworks for headers & exhaust, button up all the loose ends and hopefully have to Jim (aka Mr. Smoothie) by Spring to finish up the paint. Don't hold your breath on that one though

oh and its only 60-70 for a high temp...dang ....the wind does pick up for a few days and make it chilly ....
december will be all about putting the car together.or as my wife says..getting the boxes of parts out of the house .
start a new career "?" to support my wife and 3 kids. because ive finished the construction project i was on and construction has come to a dead stop here.which was a huge part of the local economy. .thats how i made a good living for the last 4 years. life has its challenges.maybe obama has a plan to make it all better ..NOT

Big plans this winter, some expected, some unexpected.

Planned & Expected projects:

Remove Procharger
Fab twin turbo setup -- build headers, build downpipes, build new intake piping, change camshaft, etc. (all parts on hand)
Build new dash with Stack ST-700-SR multifunction tach/display (parts on order)

Unexpected projects:
Remove freshly broken Gen 1 SBC
Remove FAST EFI
Sell all Gen 1 SBC-specific stuff
Order new boost-ready LS2 "kit" from Kurt Urban
Assemble new LS2
New ECU & Wiring harness
Build turbo setup around new LS2
Buy more tires as new LS2 should make around 800rwhp on pump gas.

Hoping to have it all done and on the road by April or so...

This winter I'll be trying to finish up the interior stuff for the new garage/shop, additional wiring, lighting, heat, insulation, sheetrock, bathroom, etc...
