Winter
So, for those of us that have to put the cars away when the snow falls (and alot of it has fallen already) what does everyone have planned for their cars in the down time?
I myself am working on putting three of them together so that they all start, run and drive. My legs are killing me from all of the pushing of G-bodies this past weekend. I'll be putting a tranny in my waGoN, just yanked a motor out of my 86, and will be trying to get that running by Spring, and I have an 85 that I am probably going to be tossing a motor into also. As for upgrades, the waGoN is probably going to get billet internals for the tranny, and a rear sway bar. I can only expect so much from the whitewalls and the stock suspension.

You went into the Bronx at night to pick up some new wheels???
What kind of car did they come off of? Just messin with ya. Yeah, the Bronx isn't as bad as it used to be, either that or I am a big boy and don't mind it as much as I used to when I drove through in the back of the family truckster with my father driving. I tell ya though, I was a little uncomfortable when I took the wrong turn on the way to Atlantic City in a brandy new Caddy. Yeah, small town life is better than the city. At least for me. Those that like the cities well, good for them. They can have them. I'll keep the small town life.

Well, It was kind of fun, I was trying out a Tomtom nav system. Turn right Now, No Not now, Now I was like WTF !! As I was leaving I figured it out, life was simple then.
The wheels arent major $ aftermarket, I just wanted the 2006 Style for my car. Come to think of It his neighbors car was sitting on blocks hmmm No just kidding.

 Oh yeah, while that was all going on I had the car at the body shop and had them sand it to bare metal, cut the crash bars out of the doors, and had it painted. I have pictures of everything. It's been a long road but it's really start to come together now!

I remember cutting crash bars out with a dremel and lifting them out through the Window Openings

Gonna change to aftermaket headers, custom 4" DP from Jack/Brian set up for a T-Netics gate. Also swapping out my stock drivers seat for a Kirkey "pro street" seat so I can keep my foot on the gas @ launch ( Amazing what a XFI file reveals ).
