Well, since I just bought my Corvette, I'll be pushing my 84 Camaro restoration off to the side of the shop to begin with.
Dropping the 518 hp LS1 I built for the Camaro into the C5 now.
Probably get new leather for the seats, maybe change the carpet and lower interior section as its all tan(not my fav).
Deffinately clean up and paint the engine bay and underneath while its torn apart.

Put together my second set of C6 OEM wheels - polished aluminum w/F1 supercars & McGard splined nuts.

The only time I store my Vette is during lovebug season(s). As to the topic of the thread, my next mod is the 2-din custom radio bezel and Kenwood NAV/DVD/MP3 install. After that I was planning a Vette Essentials interior leather mod, however that is on hold until we weather this economic storm.
It's tough to spend money on mods right now. Even if you can afford to, it's the choice of putting it away for even more rainy days. However, our current economic crisis isn't a rainy day, it's more of a monsoon.

I believe in the Beer Fairy
I'd like for mine to just keep running.
This weekend the new starter goes in. Transmission gets replaced within a month or two. After that, I'm interested to see what blows out next.
