Well, I am getting a lift. Then I can do all the things I've wanted to do, but couldn't because I hate crawling around under the car on the garage floor.
These need to be done this winter: remove bsms and install chrome spears; install pfadt sways; install hid fogs; clean up stainless steel exhaust components; detail the suspension aluminum parts; maybe add some new calipers; install rocker savers and the upfront rollers; change oil; fix rocking seat nagging problem;
Also, I bought a jackshaft garage door opener..I can install this myself. It eliminates the chain drive and all it's hardware so I will be able to lift the vette all the way to the ceiling even with the garage door closed....I have 10' 2" to work with, so I can stand upright under the vette...can't wait for this to happen!

I am going to be doing a forged 370 iron block build. powdercoating the cradles, calipers, heated seats and massage upgrades, fixing my fender and headlight, changing my dry nitrous to a dry to wet conversion with a 100 shot nozzle, turbo upgrade, roll bar, mcleod twin disc clutch, and rear end output shafts and differential clutches, and installing my new greddy boost controller. Yeah that should just about do it for the winter. Might be changing the exhaust also who knows!!!
