Thought the boards have been a little slow so I thought I would see if we can create activity.
Was wondering what was your C3 winter project and if your C3 needed no attention over the winter how long will it be until its time to get it out so you can give it a cleaning/polishing for this upcoming year.

I may uncover mine this weekend so I can start the clay barring process and then get a couple good coats of Zaino applied so it can slide thru the air. I alos need to do an oil/filter change. No road driving yet but not far away now!!

No winter projects for the vette this year. Unhappy
Probably a good thing since our relentless winter was kicked off with a storm that yielded 7ft. of snow. Plus last winter I spent too much $$ doing the LS swap. Shocked 
Hopefully in a few weeks it will be nice enough to wake 'er up for the cruising season. Big smile

I ran away and hid from the snow.  Still in the process of hiding and enjoying myself.  Just speckin' out some new digs and roadways to abuse here in AZ.

No Real "car" winter projects this year.  Been working on some house winter projects.   Bought a new front door with side lights....needs to be stained before being installed.  Plus been redoing my bathroom (pulled out the vanity to strip & restain), Drywall work , etc.  Once weather is a little warmer, hoping to do the heater core & replace seat foam in my seats.....not enough room in the garage right now.....lol

Stripped my 75 to frame waiting for snow to melt so can take outside to sandblast.  Putting lights back together after refurbishing them, gas tank painted and ready .  Gonna plow the driveway out from shed in town so can take my 92 to body shop to have stress cracks fixed on fenders.

WOW!  Barb has been TRIPLE busy!  The nervous twitch in her right foot has migrated to her hand. (would put some emoticons in, but have lost the ability on this new system.) (:<)

No real projects for me this winter.  However I am planning on getting my chambered exhaust re-hung early this spring.
It was originally installed by me and some buddies with a bunch of beer, so I'm finally going to let the pros do it.

Winter Projects!!  75 is on the ramps getting a new pinion seal. I also have the heater box out to replace the heater core and new deverter valve gaskets. Flushing radiator and replace all hoses and thermastat. Replacing all belts.  Doors are getting window regulators rebuilt, and replacing the inside and outside window felts. Check tires and spair, do a LOF and then give the old girl a good wax job. I think the she will be ready for the big trip to NY. OH then I will start on the 72 to get it ready for the big trip.  WE are looking forward to this trip. ARE WE THERE YET??????
