Winter Plans???

[NJSPEEDER]

my plans are pretty simple, continue to clean up the body and interior and drop in a better cam
my goal is to have a good sounding idle and have the whole car in one shade of primer for spring :grampsch:

anyone else got anything glorious planned for their ride?

[Savage_Messiah]

go to texas, beat them mofuggas on their home turf, and take back some trophies

[WayFast84]

Edit you only live once and Im learning that now...

Going all out, Im gonna get a larger small block, cam it, vortec heads/intake.

Put the interior back into the car. clean up the garage and I mean clean!!!

[bad64chevelle]

My goals are as follows:
-4 speed swap
-Change the underhood look of the car
-Clean up the wiring
-Possibly swap out cams
-Tear down and replace gaskets on the Hemi for Dad's 33 plymouth
-Start working on the Nova

[enRo]

-Heads/Cam
-Work on the suspension

[deadtrend1]

Find and fix the oil leak on the 96, get high flow cats/y-pipe for it, and paint it.

the 86 ..... lets see, interior, exterior, motor, drivetrain ........ id go more in depth but id get a headache

[BigAls87Z28]

There was plans of springs, shocks, and bushings all around, but focus will be on the oil leak and finding where the hell its at.

[V]

my winter plans... get the ss on the road...unload 90% of my parts and start getting prepared to move out of NJ in 2007.

[WildBillyT]

Finish up the underbody sheetmetal and start finding a body shop.

[IROCdan330]

get the new engine swapped, fix the trans leak, change diff fluid, fix a/c system, weatherstripping, possbily brakes/tires...

i suppose my plans are more fall oriented however.

[Untamed]

Find and fix the electrical short.

Buy a new battery.

Enjoy the car on the road while I sand out the surface rust and spot prime.

Paint... eventually....

[ar0ck]

My biggest plan is to just stick it in the garage under wraps and save for a paint job & 12bolt. Hopefully I will have a beater, and maybe purchase a GSXR600 to kill myself with in the Spring.

[The Fixer]

Not too much here either, just some budget friendly stuff. Would like to redo some interior trim pieces to give a different look to the car. Also going to start building my new CAI using electrical conduit PVC (larger piece, smooth curve), and prolly gonna step up to a 52mm TB. The 355 needs more air. :) Springtime might see a fresh flywheel and Centerforce clutch if funds permit.

[Teds89IROC]

I'd like to finish up underneath with some paint work and weld in a patch on the rocker so that I can get the SFC's welded up. Clean up some wiring in the engine bay and I'm sure more things to do will pop up


btw paul, where are you planning to move to?

[camaro2you]

ory
ditch the air pump and egr
install new ac compressor-****in 98's

[j0n]

its gonna be a busy winter. i didnt get a chance to do half the crap i had planned over the summer cause of my stupid shoulder. im still hoping to hit 12s before i take the car down for winter... then 11s by this time next year.

[Frosty]

Mod the C5 :)

[qwikz28]

[Frosty]

[V]

[Frosty]

[Rich189]

hey mike if u need help im more then happy to give u a hand.... last thing i worked on is a rebuild on the 383 in m truck so id like to learn a bit about the ls1's before i go tearing mine apart next year

my plans are as follows....

save for new wheels/tires
lower 1 inch new shocks all around
few little small pieces stainless inserts ect
and quite possibly a c5 or brembo brake conversion

and finally... since the cars insured hope and pray for no salt on the roads and drive it... and if there is salt hope it rains so all the salt goes away then drive it

[Mike]

rich, definately, and if you decide you wanna go a little further than that one inch i still have the h&r springs and the spohn sways, ill make a sick price on a package deal.......

[JL8Jeff]

I'd like to see the 69 Z28 restoration get finished but I'm not doing the work on that car. I need to address the clutch, brakes, tires and check the rear on the 70 SS396. I'm trying to find some more of the original parts for the 70 but I'm not gonna pay crazy Ebay and Barrett Jackson prices.

[NJSPEEDER]

my plans are.....top secret :wink:


ian's "top secret" plan


Step 1: buy another f-body
Step 2: sell it and wish he hadn't.

sound about right? :p

Nahhh, he wants to buy a non-running f-body so then he'll be a true club member! :rofl:

[Mike]

fixed

[Ian]

you're all wrong. If I bought a non running F-body, then that would make me an admin. and depending on which car I buy next, it's either getting a lot of work done to it, or it's gonna get cleaned up and sold :wink:

[Rich189]

[Brando56894]

my plans:

Plugs and wires
put the exhaust on (again)
put the GFX on regardless of how many of you hate them :P
suspension parts??

[BonzoHansen]

Fall: Get new compressor in the garage.
Winter: Strip undercoating off bottom of 77, get the damn car back together.

[Bandit]

Put in a line lock, 1.85 rockers and torque converter and shoot for a 11 second run with stock exhaust manifolds and no cam.

[iamsickofitall]

i'm going turbo...hopefully before spring.

first i need to swap my heads, came and intake out and sell my old stuff. i have all the stuff, just need gaskets, fluids and a weekend to do the work.

[bitchincamaro]

on my camaro:
kick some ass on the bodywork.
a proggressor (sp?)
bigger shot
redo my exhuast and get ultra flos and a x-pipe
buy some mid mount alt brackets so i can put my electric water pump on
maybe some racing buckets

on the chevelle:
finish floor pans
start on motor. (i have the top end for the motor, just need to figure what i am going to do with the bottom end. block is done)
kick some ass on the body work with that one also.

[HardcoreZ28]

New ZZ383 or re-ring my my current 383 so I'm not burning oil next season.

Complete the interior on my 65 T-Bird

Paint 71 Superbird and 72 Vette

[JL8Jeff]

Hmmmm, I might have just created a new project today. The 396 didn't seem to like the lack of traction today when it suddenly revved up to 6000 rpm's! I now have a slight miss which might be a lost valve. The car currently has a set of oval port heads on it which are not correct, but I have the correct rectangular port heads to go on the car. They are bare so I'll need to get them put together. I need to check some stuff tomorrow to see what's going on. Dam lack of traction!:-?

[WildBillyT]

Winter: Strip undercoating off bottom of 77,

Oh man... that job sucks. Brakeleen and a heat gun worked best for me, but it was still a messy job.

[Jersey_TA]

devise a way to not break anything next year

Umm just keeping it together long enough to race

[slasherbarb]

-Heads/Cam
-Port Intake
-Suspension stuff(shocks, spirngs, subframes, etc)
-Send headers out to Jet hot
-3.73s(after almost two years)
-Repaint the car and add the 30th anniversary stripes
-Laughing gas??


And I'm sure I'll think of more...

[jbird99]

-Replace Front bumper(since my car got hit a week ago because people can not drive)

-Replace Pass Side Fender

-Swap my TB

[DieselKickYoAss4Sure]

OK, the car is back in the garage (with its new epoxy floor coating), so that is progress.
