Default Winter Plans?

so for those of us that are forced to put our cars away for winter... Does anybody have any plans for mods? I'm going to do a few things but i'm not sure what is on the list for sure or not yet. Anybody else?

I have quite a few things I plan on doing this winter:

LED DRLS
Brakes
Paint calipers
Put on WS.6 Hood
Add blue decals ie. liscense plate bird, "Trans Am" on the door
And hopefully (crossing my fingers) get the $$ for TDs and LTs

Thats about all I have thought of so far...

I think my next mod is going to be getting a second job. Unfortunately, it looks like I'll be driving my car all winter. Hopefully I can get a set of Bilsteins to put on there in my spare time.

But everyone pray that my rear end doesn't go out until Spring.

got a few things I'd like to get done over the winter.

-Clean everything (underbody/engine bay, ect)
-install LT's and swap the LM resonator out for a dynomax bullit
-put new wheels on (still trying to decide on what though)
-fix the ashtray lid

thats all I got for now, but im shure it will grow by winter.

-Whistler Mod
-Smoked Corners
-Paint interior trim gloss black
-Paint calipers
-Paint Mirrors red to match
-Get a grill of some kind, or just paint stocker gloss black.
-Sell my 18s and get some 17x9/17x10.5 AR TTM's
-Get a linelock
-Get rid of my tips and get turndowns mounted up under the rear, or just go TDs
-Clean it up a little all over.

Need to make some cash before i do all this though

I go on deployment next week and the wife and family will take the 99 back to KY where it will meet the 68 for the first time and they'll get to sleep together in the same shop. We already know what the kids will look like . Def a stall, then I'll start saving for the headers and duals. **** while im at it i'll change out these corvette black rims and get a 15'' street strip set. put the stock springs back in and install adjustable shock/struts. def in that order but next year in the late spring when i get back home. later fellas

Not too much, too cold to work on the car and drive it! It should be finished up this monthfor what I want to do; I did an autostart paging alarm, bought new mats, fonrt end is repainted, wheels are on order, now I'm contemplating some overlays. I can't think of anything right now, maybe some more suspension parts, some embroidery, and new seats.
