Get Vette back and tuned with good turbo inlets. Work on Trans Am to hopefully finish her up.

If I can convince my mom to park her car outside I may tear down for the cam swap, but I won't have all of the parts yet so we'll see.

I'd also like to fly down to San Diego and visit one of my uncles who's the manager of a huge collision shop down there and try to learn a few things about painting cars. Just thought it would be an interesting thing to learn how to do. I'm not expecting to be an expert at painting, but I'd just like to learn a little about how to do it.

my winter wishlist

That it doesn't snow enough for the city to throw down salt

(then maybe my car won't have to hibernate for 4 months, lol)

Yeah I would definitely go with the weld ins, and have someone you KNOW is good do them. Other than the bolt in stuff, everything else looks good. Going to be an expensive winter....
