Default What are your car plans?

Well, sinc ei've been away from the car for this semester i have been thinking about the direction i wanna take my car. The list follows:

1. UMI- Torque Arm
2. UMI- LCA's
3. UMI- LCA Relocation brackets
4. UMI- Front tubular K-member
5. UMI- Upper and Lower A-Arms
6. Rebuilt transmission
7. New Stage 2 style cluthc
8. RAM Billet Flywheel.
9. SS Hood
10. LS1 SS Spoiler
11. Car repainted Black with Silver 30th SS style stripes
12. New Racing style seats
13. 6-Point cage with removable door bars
14. True Duals
15. Prokit 1" drop srings and appropriate shocks and struts
16. 17x9.5 Front and 17x11 Rear ZR1's grey
17. Track Wheels and tires ( not an expert in this department so thats why its not very specific )
18. Working A/C
19. Either a 12-Bolt, 9", or DANA 44.
20. Canton 7 Quart Oil Pan

All this, would bring a very clean look to my car while providing performance, this would also become my weekend only car. Maybe i could talk UMI to painting my stuff silver instead of red of black . But yea, what are you're plans for your cars? Its obvious i plan to keep my car for awhile.

1. Nitrous by next year
2. LE2 heads eventually
3. 9" eventually

Obviously with all this my motor won't last so when that goes I'm gonna rebuild it as a forged 355.
