well the car will be on jackstand covered in tarps all winter and wont move till i can get it over the snow next spring. While she is sitting out there i will start collecting new parts. the list i have so far is: A new 8.5 rear (still deciding on gears), aluminum heads, a new carb depending on the heads i can get, a transmission rebuild kit and possibly a manual valve body and a high stall converter to match my cam better.

That's it for now, ill add more as i start collecting these parts and spending money.
 
Going to prep it for paint and add GNX wheel flairs..if I had the money I would back half it with some steamrollers..also remove the A/C Box and a heater box..
 
My winter project is to put my 87 cutty interior back in and do disc brake conversion on cutty and el camino and for tax time im getting my 400 sbc in the cutty rebuilt and adding thumpr cam kit and 2500
 
jeep steering shaft,roller rockers,maybe a upgraded cam didnt do any engine mods when i got the engine its a crate so figured why mess with somthing brand new.planing on painting my wheels gloss black and doing a little clean up and respraying some engine bay parts
 
Got the glide out to fix the roll back problem(pump bad). Maybe add a 1.98 low gear planetary. Looking to get 60ft's into the 1.20's. Everything else looks good on the car. March won't get here fast enough. Also may be changing to alcohol fuel.
 
I want to notch my frame all the way to the inside skin and hopefully get my rear wheels widened and fronts narrowed. Thats all for now, but i'm sure I'll want to do more later.
 
I would like to finish the project that I started last winter.
Its actually almost done, just need to figure out why all that oil is on the outside of the motor not on the inside where I put it.
 
swap out the carpet, replace the window motors, fix the seat motor, reseal the doors, install the exhaust system, prep for paint, replace windshield....
 
The car? I'm thinking of insulating the garage and adding a dedicated heater instead. That torpedo heater doesn't cut it when it gets into single digits.

My only plans are to keep plugging away at getting the 455 finished, maybe find a cheap trans to go through and set the body back on the frame.
