What are you doing to your car this winter?

[othtim]

Pretty much everything. I do most of the work in the winter and drive the car in the summer. Last summer I built a motor, swapped it in, swapped in a new trans and crossmember, stripped out all the unneccessary crap, new gauges, lightened the car, built a new carb, and tuned, etc, new rims/tires.

This winter I was planning on building a 383 but my trans just died. so now I need to build a cheaper motor, probably a 350. 🙁 and buy a new trans.

also im thinking of doing some more lightneing - maybe chromoly front stuff and parts from Iceman Racing. also still accumulating parts for my 8.8 swap...probably will be done this winter too. will be a good winter for the car 🙂

Hopefully I can get my weatherstrip all done, clean up the engine bay, recover my headliner and hopefully I will be able to turn my Regal into an alcoholic. Hopefully it won't get to cold around here this winter, don't like trying to heat the garage in -20 weather.

Well I am going to tarp the El Camino. Put my 83 Cutlass under the carport, and continue my slow progress on the 79 Cutlass. Then when tax time comes around hopefully get some new parts that I cant afford.

It may not be winter quite yet (knowing buffalo it will be snowing soon), but here's my plans for this weekend. Tear down engine and install BTR prepped #5 heads, and BTR alternator bracket.

Well my pipe dreams are never ending. I would like to at least get a distributor together and another rear with 3 something gears and a posi. That would make me feel accomplished. I would also love to start accumulating parts for me dream 403 stroker build, but we've gotta see.
