I just posted my winter "to do" list in that specific thread, but I figured I would go ahead and post it up here. Maybe just to keep myself motivated, but it seems like this would be a good place for it. So here it is, in no specific order:

*Install new engine and transmission; uncertain yet what to use, I have several options available.

*Rebuild and install square-body front crossmember to allow disc brakes and 3 more inches of drop.

*C-notch the rear frame, and drop the axle 2 more inches.

*Clean up and instal the junkyard sway bars I picked up a couple years ago.

*New tires for the set of slot mags I had cleaned up and surfaced, finally got them back after almost a year and a half.....

*Clean up, repaint, and detail the engine compartment so my buddy can take a second shot at his pinstriping job (his request, not mine).

*Clean out the cab, possibly repair the rust on the floors, and install carpet and hopefully a new radio.

*Install Caddy tail lights

*Hopefully paint and some more pinstriping once the weather warms up in the spring again. This one is a big maybe, not going to make or break me either way.
