I wanted to be able to keep my Jeep with the snowplow in my garage so I needed another place to keep the Vette in the winter.

I had a barn with a dirt floor

It had horse stalls

And plenty of grounhog holes

No more horse stalls and I dare the groundhogs to try and make a hole now.

This summer I hope to put in some insulation, drywall and a four post lift.

Hookers and Transgo shift kit for me. I finally got to drive the car and do some local cruise-ins for a summer . . . loved it!! Next is rear suspension (rebuilt T/As, rear sway bar, Bilstein Sport shocks, adjustable struts, mono-spring, Spicer u-joints, rotors, calipers). Will get done this winter so I can start making some road trips, like Cruise-In X
