Figure out and fix or replace carb
Troubleshoot/repair battery drain problem Diagnose and repair the "shimmy shimmy koko pop" that starts at 40 mph Replace oil pressure gauge feed line with copper Those are things I need to do so I can drive it. It needs tires all the way around, and needs brake linings in the front. Also front suspension needs repair/replace (clunks when braking or turning hard) It needs new exhaust too, just haven't decided 3" or 2.5" Then, I guess if I hit the lottery, I'll go for the OD trans/converter and gears...or a new rear. Paint flames on the deck lid stripes just like the ones on the hood. Oh yeah, and I have a stereo & speakers that have been waiting to go in for a couple years now. I have to say, that when I replace the tires, I'd love to have a set of 17" wheels to mount them on. Last edited by Highway Star; 10-02-2010 at 01:05 PM.

This year: More power, less weight, working A/C, and a transmission that doesn't suck.
I'll be tearing my car apart in a couple weeks to get started on the LS1/T56 swap. Might stick some money into getting the HP into the low/mid 500s. Maybe next year I'll get new wheels again... (currently on the 5th set of wheels I've bought for this car)

gotta do some cleanup on the 66 this winter, exhaust manifolds blasted and powder coated, also gonna pull the inner fenders out and have them repainted..... & last but not least, swap out the wheels with the correct coded JK steelies I picked up a couple years back.
The 69 just gonna do a little work on the exhaust alignment, it's hangin a little low and rubbing on the frame by the tails,

Well, seen as how I decided to work on my car this summer instead of waiting until this fall to do it. This summer I rebuilt the front suspension, rebuilt the top half of the engine, and painted everything under the hood. My list is smaller than it would have been. I've got a gas tank to replace and I'm thinking about doing something with the stereo, but I'm not sure yet. I've got a box with 2 VR 10's in the trunk along with 2 amps. It just doesn't sound as good as I'd like it to. As far as winter storage is concerned, I have a furnace in my garage and keep it at 50 degrees in the winter. Dave (Grumpy) I would think if you bought a cover that breaths, you should be ok.
