[OVRKILL]

Won't be long before we have to park'm for the year...lol, mine's been parked for 5 years! Who's going to do a little knuckle busting this winter?


AND what are you doing?

[OIF1VET]

me, me, me

[kammi10]

still working on mine from last winter

[01badbird]

got a few things in the works.The major change will be new stripes ,working with my decal guy and we are designing the stripes to match with some of the changes that I'll be making on outside.also plan on cleaning underbody (damn undercoating) and working on different intake system (not your everyday one)I've done mods before and posted after but seems like people like to see your progress so in next month or so I will be posting my winter projects when I get started.I've got some extra nitrous stuff so might add 2nd stage (only like 25 shot) that will go on other side to "balance" out front of bay.last year was the engine bay and this year will be more exterior appearance.with some luck and extra money I would also like to go from 3.23 to 3.73's (and 2nd stage)so maybe get cloer to running a 10 second pass (only need .43 quicker).

^ have seen your efforts under the hood Rick, really sharp. My motor is out and job #1 is going to be a cosmetic upgrade under there! If you don't me asking, who did the work? Might bug you occasionally in what/how some things were done

Job #2 is motor...AGAIN!
Job #3 is wheels...AGAIN!
Job #4 is suspension...AGAIN!
Job #5 is rear end...lol, that will be new.
Job #6 is getting two more day jobs to support 1 - 5

I'm just going to be collecting some parts for spring. Need to have my trans rebuilt, replace window motors, replace stereo, replace bump stumps, and I really want to get sub frame connectors and tint. Also to get my hood vents painted, I need to figure out how to take them out (I'm assuming they come out.) That's my plan for winter.

I am going to build another Engine for the Camaro and go through the Automatic transmission.
I am looking for a 350 2nd gen 4 bolt main block and crankshaft. I have new Edelbrock Performer RPM aluminum heads and a new .030 over Pistons and rods.
I also have a new Posi unit that I want to put in with new gears and rear end bearings.
I would also like to add power steering.
I have a lot of other things that I would like to do but I probably won't have enough time and money.

[TrickyTransAm]

Putting the car away, Prepping the truck, snowblowers, etc for winter.
I don't have a big pole barn so I refuse to roll around on cold, wet, salty pavement Nov-March.
I would start working on that 80 Vette, but there's just no room for it here.

Working on remodeling the basement and finishing flooring in the house.
Switching over to the hobbies and side business for the fall/winter months.

Thanks Brent. I want to keep the look of the older style 1st gen block with the advantage of a 1 piece rear main and a roller lifter block with 1st gen heads and intake. I already bought the heads for this block.

[ThreeHonks]

chaning to a chrome "ram air decal"
new wheels and tires all around
ebony leather interior conversion
tinting windshield

Nothing wrong with simple old school...love it. Got more pics? Would love to park a 2nd next to my other money pit someday...when its done of course!

[DETROITMUSCLE]

still trying to get the car on the road before winter

[1bad83ta]

I am going to be doing a bunch of stuff if time/money allows. New exhaust from the headers back, subframe connectors/roll cage(maybe), racing seats, shocks/springs, poly motor mounts, and probably tires.
