[QUOTE]Originally posted by bwkelley76: [QB] Things have changed a bit since winter is almost here. I'm going to be focusing more on the mechanical stuff, and less on the paint, for good reason... The cold weather complicates storage and transporting the car since I live up in the snow. I really don't want to be transporting this car up the hill in the middle of a snow storm! So, I've made a decision and I've told the body shop to take their time, and maybe even put things off for a bit, in anticipation for final paint in late winter/ early spring. That works out better for both of us actually. (don't get me wrong I'd love to see it painted) but I do have plenty of other things I can do on the car in the mean-time. So it all works out. They can get some other things done on their end since they are so busy, and I can get some things done on my end as well, and I don't have to worry about juggling a car with a fresh paint job in the middle of winter. ...That's just a tragedy waiting to happen. So, I hope everyone is up for a change of pace? ...On the mechanical forefront, I'm looking at buying my brakes (12" drilled and slotted Wilwoods front and rear) and of course I'll be looking into the engine a bit more, as well as the suspension. Another thing I'm entertaining is a manual trans swap. ...I just installed a "Modern Driveline" hydraulic clutch setup with a T5 swap, in a customer's car and I REALLY LIKE IT. I'd like to do tubular front suspension and a few other trick items under the car as well. We'll see how it goes! :) Still working on the heads, they should be going into the machine shop soon for some final work. :) I'll still be posting on here putting up pics regularly on everything I'm doing, there just wont be much regarding paint for a little while longer.
