Saturday I pulled the cover off after 4 1/2 months and cleaned the interior and a few things under the hood. Sunday I started it up on the original battery with no tender with one turn of the key and took it outside for a wash and then a 20 mile drive on a 55 degree day. Today I shoveled 3" of wet heavy snow and just thought of yesterday.

Friday, resurfaced my headlights with the BG Products kit, and painted my tail light panel satin black. Saturday epoxy'd my Z28 emblems back on and drove around NWA all afternoon enjoying the warm weather.

Replaced my cloth seats in the M6 car with leather. Even the wife gave me props, calling it a "major upgrade."

Painting all the caliper & abutment brackets black. It's 34 degrees here and we have a flood and winter storm warning.

I've done this in the past month or so, weekends only.

Painted my stock wheels to a gunmetal/graphite color.
Swapped a 3.42 rear end in place of trashed 2.73.
Bolted on my ls6 intake
Changed plugs
Flushed coolant
Swapped stock springs for eibach pro-kit
Changed fuel filter
Changed trans filter and fluid
Got rid of my air/egr
Changed oil
Probably forgetting a few things. Pulled a few all-nighters doing this stuff as it's my daily driver that has to get me to work and school.


Next on the to-do list is a good spring cleaning, tune, and a new set of drag radials.

I really want to clay bar it and shampoo the carpet, along with cleaning the engine bay.

I was just thinking about doing the same thing after setting my alarm a few minutes ago. Apparently there is a difference between the LT1 horn and the LS1 horn (why, I have no idea).

What horn did you replace it with?
