This is the first year my car really does not need anything to go to the party

I was just curious what kind of to-do list others have before the big day?

motor swap----edit....BUILD motor now that "Fresh" motor was junk-----done
tubular x-member---finished, and a-arms swap---done
spring swaps---done
re-wire car harness front to back--almost done
put in 5 point harnesses--almost done, tabs need to be welded up still
buy a helmet for the track--still waiting on helmet

then get jay's car running and help out firebird383 as needed as well. So I have 3 cars to finish up.

I have some minor things to get done, a little bit of welding, spray the spoiler and the engine bay. Then give it a wash and wax! I guess I could get it done in a weekend, when I get time. My fiance opened a flower shop in Mokena last weekend, and then our wedding is in April, so by Mid-May I should be able to get some time to get around to it.

I still have to finish the stuff that I didnt get done for last year.

- Finish the 4th gen guages
- Finish the Ram Air Setup
- Redo the headliner

The only thing I got done since last year is put in a new clutch, so this year I can actualy get on it without it slipping like crazy.

Thanks Steve. I'll try not to get you involved in my mess. If it gets to be late April and it's not done, you might get a call. On the other hand, if you're not tied up fixing your Camaro, I've got lots of beer and a heated garage...


My list:

About a weekends worth of odds-n-ends to get the engine fired.
Install 9-inch- assemble 95 Z28 rear discs to housing
Install new C4HD front brake kit
Install booster/master/prop valve
Install wonderbar, Eibach springs, LCA's, adj Panhard, STB, etc.
Install complete interior (nothing but the dash in there now)
Install weatherstripping

I'm sure there's more, but the list is already giving me a headache.

I'd love to have your assistance if you have time. Pretty much for the last 2 months all I've done is go to work, sleep, and work on the car. I've even cut the sleep time down. My wife came out to the garage to get me at 4am on Wed Night (Thurs morning?). Yes, it sucked being at work 3-1/2 hours later. Anyway, if you get yours done with time to spare, give me a shout.

Wow, everyone's got problems. I have to do...NOTHING. Cause I don't own a third gen anymore. I've been helping out my friend Tom to get his 88 GTA going before TGF.
His list...
Install engine/trans/driveshaft,
remove fenders, nose and door,
sand, prime and paint everything,
install door, fenders nose and hood.
If there is time, it might get wet sanded and buffed.

I might drive my '87 Monte SS there if I have somewhere to be after. If not, I'll ride with the GTA.

You're gonna have all that done in 10 days? Wow!
