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...

My first order of buisness is to tear the interior out of my cuda, cover the door panels and quarters in leather, new custom made carpet, block and reclear the entire car, tuck the rear bumper etc. Also just started another 69 camaro.

I've got some changes going on for the Chevelle, stuff that if I had a "do-over" would do differently.

That's what my A/C and fuel routing is all about too.

Here's some advice for any car builder that eventually wants air conditioning: do it first. The evaporator, compressor, drier, and condenser locations should all be worked out before putting in custom firewalls, floors, and roll cages. Maybe everybody knew that but me.

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
