Winter Plans???
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 
anyone else got anything glorious planned for their ride?

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.

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....

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.

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.

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?

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
