I am in detail mode, working on the undercarriage of the 83, under the hood of the 81, Washing, waxing and simply getting ready to show. Tried out a new wax, Eagle One's Nanowax - It works good.
Personally my first Show is April 29 in Cross Junction, VA (Winchester) and then I am really looking forward to the Camaro Nationals and Pony Car Showdown.

Well, the Z28 I plan on getting electronic dash put in and swap out the auto tranny for a manual (and have the boyfriend paint a helmet the same color as the car for the track, lol).

The T/A convertible needs some interior seatbelt and trim parts that have been difficult if not impossible to find, so I'll keep searching for those and am hoping that Hawks keeps their promise to come out with weatherstripping for converts so I can waterproof it -- right now I get wet when it rains hard, urgh.

And alway have lots of plans to keep everything sparkling under the hood -- just wish it wasn't so hard to do. ***, I'd love to have a garage.

Can't wait for spring and for the gatherings and shows to start up again...love this warm weather we're having, but just know it's not going to last long. I actually drove the purple beast this past week so I could get a little happy time with her.

Selling my car. I don't really want to but I need a truck for other reasons which are more important than wanting to go fast.
