weekend plans?
what's everyone doing this weekend?
i'll be trashing on the camaro to get everything on the bottom side finished up. will also be redoing some wiring and pulling out the boat and starting it up for this summer's fun.
anyone else doing something fun? supposed to be 67 both days....should allow me to get a ton done, if anyone is stopping by as well.

Gotta change the oil and rear O2 sensor in the super fast Beretta so I can take it for emissions before they revoke my license. Yeah, it was too cold to do it before now. lol
Anyway, after that, go nuts on some more brackets on the Formula and make way for the Glasstek pin on hood and hatch piece. I'm tempted to head to Pick n' Pull and see if I can find some straight front fenders and a nose piece so I can get rid of this beat up, rusty, bondo'd crap that's on the car.
Possibly get the rear springs and adjustable perches in. Depends on how ambitious I get.
Anyone know where I can get a bit that removes spot welds? The machinist at work said a Harbor Freight just opened over by State Rd and Cicero, which is about 10 minutes from where I work so I'm going to swing by there tomorrow on my way home from work to see if they have one?
Oh, and does anyone know a good local shop that I can buy hood pins from? Preferably aluminum or stainless instead of chrome. I hate how chrome rusts over time.

I get the my L98 4 bolt main this weekend and I have to figure out what im going to do to it. I will probably take it to a machine shop to get some work done to it this coming week. Ive got 800 bux to spend on getting it in nicer shape, it ran before it was pulled so it shouldnt be too bad.

NAPE. don't waste the cas on them harbor fright bits they suck. Just get a good 1/8 bit. than a 5/16 or 3/8 and just drill to u can see the line from the two metal. if u understand that. They make all kinds of bits for spot weld i have tried them all and they are all over priced and they don't last. With drill bit u can reshapen them. I do this all day at work
