well, spring is around the corner. it is time to pop off the car cover, crank over the cutlass, and start the next round of upgrades for this year. i am hoping to get her started and into my buddy's garage in the next couple of weeks. i have a whole pile of parts waiting to be installed:

1) front power disc brake conversion (slotted rotors, powdercoat calipers)

2) complete performance steering linkage kit

3) tubular upper & lower front control arms

4) 1.25" front sway bar


the front shocks are only about a year old with less than 1,000 miles on them, and i already have hotchkis front springs, so i will just re-use those. it was a nice short easy winter, but i am getting ready for spring & summer!!!

That is some nice upgrades. Will you still use the wheels you have? What part of the country are you? I am getting anxious to get mine going too.

i will be using these wheels for at least another 2-3 years. the wheels and tires are still like new, only about 2 years old with less than 1,000 miles on them. when these tires need to be replaced, i may look into a large diameter wheel, but i really like the classic crager style. u can't really see them clearly in my sig/avatar pics, check out these pics below. they are like a gun metal silver with the machined lip. they look almost black in my sig pic, but they aren't that dark in person.

I know, it's a really nice day today, warm, sunny, a bit windy. It doesn't matter how mild the winter is, it's days like this that remind me it's good to be alive. Time to go start up the car.
