Default Plans for the winter months.

Most of us will be putting our Vettes up for the winter soon, what are you're plans for that down time? Hopefully I will be doing a custom stereo build, and a Procharger upgrade.

Husker I made my own console drapes, I made the mock up out of cardboard, bought the fabric off ebay. Got way more than needed incase I screwed it up.

This is where car show season is just getting started. Temp in the 80's low humidity and no rain for months & months.

No need to rub it in Pokerpro When I retire that is the plan, no more winters for me either.

I hear ya pal.... But just think how much happier you would be if you were down here BEFORE you retire.

I'll tell you what, I'll give you $1,000 cash on the spot if you can go into any home depot or Loews and buy a snow shovel. After 13 years down here nobody's been paid.
