Finish the car!!! The car left home 2-weeks ago to go back to my engine builder to finish plumbing fuel and brake lines and finish some wiring that was above my abilities. I talked to him yesterday and just about done. Next on the list was installing the exhaust system and start the car for the 1st time in over 2-years!! Once it's running it's off to DMV to get inspected and then to the interior shop to have the door panels re-covered and rear seat re-done and sound system installed. By spring time it will be time to put the hammer down and drive it! I Hope!!

As odd as it sounds: finish my A/C installation. The boys and girls at Vintage Air (shout out to Rick Love!) and Prodigy have been fantastic with tech support and design help.

I may actually have a running car again in a week or so. It's been down since before Pigeon Forge (I threw some of it together so I could drive it for that weekend).

Also: I'm re-routing my fuel lines so they don't get close to the headers, and then I'm installing an Aeromotive fuel pump controller.

Default I have started working on the body

Not my cars body...my body. Too much social activity with hops and barley has added a few pounds over the summer. I have been getting up at 5:30 am and getting back into the gym.

Like you Scott, I am going to hide my coils.

Bigger front bar, different front shocks. Maybe even a torque arm in my future.

Since I have no money I'll probably just sit and stare at it this winter. Maybe put on some music. Couple cold ones. Box of tissue.

Since there is already 2" of snow on the ground here, winter project time has officially started.

On the OneLap car I need to pull the transmission to find out what is going on there, I am going to replace my fuel line with solid line, I am going to tidy up some of the things that were hurried for SEMA, and when the transmission goes back in I want to rework the exhaust to get a bit more clearance. I need to work on the traction control so that we can start dialing that in and I need to work on some programming of the IQ3 and add some sensors here and there.

I also need to start on my wife's car - a factory '67 RS that will be getting an ATS Chicane-LM subframe conversion and probably one of Speedtech's torque arm rear suspensions.

Winter's here are really long...

Ideal plans include a lot of metal work:

quarters,
rear bumper work,
tail panel replacement
shaved drip rails,
floors,


we will see how much I can actually get done...

Finish our numbers matching 69 Camaro convertible and get it sold. We have something bigger coming down the pike.

Work has me all buggered too so zero funds are being spent...so I'm gonna keep plugging away at selling the crap I don't need/want and start getting the real details together for the 67.

That was the winter plan. I had a whole punch list of small stuff for the Z. Oh well, maybe PT2010

Hopefully engine, tranny, and wheels with Franks' (Prodigy Customs) help.
