Lol, anything you want to be specific about?

I thought this thread might get people back to some kind of automotive talk instead of the shit-slinging that runs rampant on this board.

I'll be starting a new job this winter, so it'll be either stay at home and put my money towards making cars cool, or rent out a house and find a wifey...hmm...

But should I decide to stay home there's no way I'm working on stuff until it's semi warm again or I buy a nifty space heater. Just collecting parts.

People should post pics of the shit they are working on this winter. I'll look at it at least I like seeing stuff like that.

Like making guitars or just fixing some? One of my friends bought a kit and painted/assembled his bass, it was kinda cool.

Fixing them. I'm sanding down my old SG to wood and staining it, maybe some new pickups ha. I have too many guitars. :)

Nice! I've always liked SG's. I almost bought one of those instead of my telecaster as a matter of fact. I need to figure out what's wrong with my effects unit over winter.

I only have to do a few things to my 70': new starter, battery, put another electric fan on radiator, transmission cooler. The car should be pretty much ready to go after that, and pretty reliable for the street and track. Last year I was having issue with the car starting once I had to start hot lapping at the track towards the end of the night, but thats cuz my starter was on its way out. Cooling wasnt really that much of an issue, but if got the extra $$ i might get an aluminum radiator.
