    Mine will be in storage so no work on the car over Winter. I am however collecting up parts I need over the Winter so that I'll have a whole new list of stuff to do on the car that I wont be able to find time to do come Spring time.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Get both of them here and start work on rebuilding them. The Green GT is here, I just need to get the Red GT from Kentucky. Hopefully in a short period of time I should be able to get it home. So far every time I make plans to get it, something happens though.

    Tucked away in the garage, covered with the cold weather.
    take the battery out and bring it (the battery) in the house.

    Keep it in running/driving status. I quit driving my '72 daily in August, and literally did not touch the car at all until this past weekend. Just keep it going so I have a Mav to take to the dixie maverick meets for now. I was intending to make some serious headwind on my project mav over the fall and winter, but real life got in the way as soon as I got started on it, and doubt I'll be able to mess with it this year.

    hopefully new ball joints front and rear springs shocks, carpet, a new windshield gasket and some sort of radio. I also plan to get some flowmaster 40's dumped at the rear axle. I sure love this car
