The wagon is getting a brake job (lol), new drive-train parts, A/C parts, exhaust, tires and registered!

The sedan is getting a new windshield gasket and clutch!

Gotta love tax refunds :P

If I win this 100.oo gift card my wagon is going to get a few goodies as well  ;D  Either way the wood panels are going to get replaced thanks to an OK tax refund. Plus I want to get a few mechanical things looked at and maybe fixed. I have to get it ready for 2011  ;D

You guy's are lucky! We always end up having to use one to pay the other! And the one that we use to pay the other, isn't big enough to do anything with anyway! Maybe buy a bubblegum!!LOL

Spoiled isn't the word!!!  :hypno: way too much being spent this year, I gota stop the madness.  It starts with Edelbrock #61699 Clevor heads, edelbrock E-Boss maniflod. Original set of 1970 Boss 302 valve covers. MSD ignition set up, battery moved to trunk. Had the radio totally rebuilt with all new solid state (stereo, 60 watts per channel, ipod adapter, etc) re-padded the dash.  Added a second drive shaft loop to the rear section of the drive shaft.  Installed a second fuse block and cleaned up all the mess under the dash (now every circuit has a home run and I have four spares) And over the Presidents week she will be dropped off at americanracingheader.com for a custom set of stainless steel headers.  We will be looking at a Boss 302 with about 400 horsepower and I need to seek professional help.  :sleep:  :read: Lots of stress trying to come up with designing it all to fit.  Hopefully when it is done I will forget about all that and enjoy the ride.  Throw in some nitros and the GT500 will not be able to hit me in the  :showback:

WOW, and I thought I had a lot to do! lol

I need to pull the motor from the wagon and repaint it, but I think I will just settle for pressure washing the compartment for a little while. :(
