Default Winter plans???

Who has some winter plans for thier car and what are you doing? I'm still trying to figure out what I'm going to do.

Btw, does anyone know who bought KP's roller here in Chicago?

I kinda know who bought KP's roller but the new owner wants privacy around the info. But it's gonna be a BBC car no longer LSx powered. Just like mine will be too.

My winter plans will be to buy another LSx powered car to play with, or two.

BRE T4P heads/cam, M9 rear, some suspension work.. that's about it... but might run into 2010.. I'm not in a big rush... and getting that H/C package could take until mid summer.. Bret's a busy guy.

My first winter project was to replace the heater core on my Nova, along with a bunch of little detail stuff. But that's mostly done now. Maybe it's time for a new crate motor?

Most of my winter plans are either in the mail or done. Just had the new RST clutch installed last week. Ordered an ABS delete kit, tires (Tom I took your advice and went with the 275/50/15), and should be picking up my Billet Streetlites sometime later this week or next week (Thanks Jason). Other than that I plan on putting the car on a minor diet and shooting for 11s next year. Good luck to everyone with their builds.

Wow Tom, your car looked pretty gutted when I saw it. What is on your list for weight reduction?
