Hey all
I was just curious what everyone's plan for their cars over the winter. I myself am kind of at a crossroads. I think the coronet has a lot more in it with a few tweaks to the chassis. So, I'll be focusing on that for me.
What are you all doing?

Nothing till after the first of the year,,,then not sure after that, kind of interested in the new smallblock Eddy heads.
Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

Well as of Wednesday it sounds like I could be having a very big sale over the winter.
