Well the cold nasty stuff is coming soon so it is time to think about winter projects …
Do you have any plans this year?
Are you looking for something special like this tiger with glowing red eyes for your third brake light (look for this sitting in my back window next year)
Or maybe you are looking for a new set of rims?
Or maybe a new prop for your car show display (hot trend for 2012):
Or maybe a little maintenance (don’t forget to top off that blinker fluid):

Not really car related, but I’m in the process of getting all my music put on a hard drive so I do not have to cart around 5 cases of CDs to the car shows I DJ.

I put my stock wheels back on (hence why the gnx wheels are for sale), and have been locating needed interior trim components to replace. You have no idea how hard it is to find a power bucket drivers seat for a Grand National! Im also looking to upgrade my accessory gauges I have in the car, i found some really nice Autometers that have a green backighting like the rest of factory dash lights, but they are $220 a piece, so I think ill be going with some black ones from VDO. I also located a replacement steering wheel out of an original 29k mile car. Other items im looking to replace are the sunvisors and depending on funds after i get back from vacation, i may have the windows re-tinted. However, the car needs new weatherstrips and i should put new window motors and bushings in the doors at the same time, just my luck if I redo the tint before that ill screw it up!

Holy crap! You are ambitious
Got the A/C project started. So far so good. I have the wireing all set and the heater/evaporator box almost ready to go in. I am just waiting for the evaporator drain/ shield for the fire wall. After I finish with the inside I will have the hoses re-made. Is there some one localy that does that?

Is there some one localy that does that?How hard has it been to find the parts you have needed? What type of hoses need to be remade?
I was able to get a complete unit out of a donor car. I have most of the pieces, but I am lacking a few. Since I did not take the unit out of the donor car I am on my own figuring out the install. There is a used Pinto parts supplier in California who is Very helpful. I have all the original hoses . They are a combination of metal and rubber. I would like to have new rubber crimped on them and have the service ports changet to handle R134a.
I’m not sure where Full Circle took my GTO to last year to get it my AC charged, but give them a call to see if they will let you know who their AC guy is ….
