Default Whats your fall plans for your baby?

Once I'm done with the mechanical stuff. I plan on doing some custom work in the cosmetics department. Fascia area and shifter.

How about you'll?

My plans for the fall are to drive the cars until the end of October, then prep/clean/cover the '71 and '98 for the winter, then put snow tires on the '02. That is all.

To come home on a little R&R Pull her out of her crib, and take her around the block... Maybe catch a couple of Fox bodies, or Challengers off guard

cam, intake, dyno tune, fix the dent from slamming into a trash can last year, fix a couple hail dents, prep the new sunoco hood, and paint the whole thing. The SS will just stay warm and cozy

It's getting new shocks (installed last weekend), 98mm lid, SD Tune, ASP pulley before LSX Shootout. Then I get to enjoy it for the fall before it gets stored in the garage all winter.

If everything goes right, I'll be stuffing a cammed LS3 under the hood this winter. No matter what though, the LS1 is getting heads and N2O first to see what it'll do then pull it for another project and get started on the LS3 conversion.

No garage so my goal is to keep her off the road and hopefully work on some interior bits and I have a LS6 valley cover to install. Money is tight right now so just small things for now. I hope winter is mild this year in VA.
