Whats Your Winter Project?
Like the Title says what is your winter project? What will you do while your Vette is in storage?
For me it will be vararam,Long tubes,x pipe, Z06 vents (maybe still not 100% sure) I am also going to paint the brake calipers and make a few custom covers for the engine bay.
Please share your ideas and what you plan to do post pics if you have them!

Vararam, full exhaust, wheels and tires, heads and intake as well as audio. Lower the car on stock bolts also.
Already have the heads and audio. Kinda scared to spend money right now though.

I would still like to put on my LT headers, x-pipe, new 3.42 rear, cam, and a tune though. Hopefully this spring is a little kinder to me and I get some money back from Uncle Sam, but I won't hold my breath.

I have a 500 ci. Caddie motor that I have transplanted into a 88' Pontiac Fiero. Just need to finish her up with the wiring, axles, and some minor misc. parts.
I don't know how to post pics but it is really nothing to look at.

I always advise anyone doing work on their seats to add heated seats at the same time. I love mine.
Go Sox!

Well we don't worry about storage here
But my project is to get the 97 C5 running. Well it runs now, but with a lot of knock, so obviously I am going to be making some changes. Going to sit on it for a while and think about where I want to go with it. Take my time and pull everything out and put some new goodies back in.

No winter project this year. Sold the Vette, so until I get another one, I guess I'll just keep putting the money in the bank.

Most likely pulling off CCW wheels and sending them to get powder coated black, or centers painted black. Leaving the lip polished.
