  • Prep for your stuff for 2011?

    Got to thinking...have a list in my head on things needing fixed, replaced, or otherwise for PT 2011...
    What have you got to get in order?

    Off hand...
    *AIR CONDITIONING system charged and tossing out ice cubes.
    *blower fan motor
    *Adjust all my side glass
    *Finish up my seat rework {swapping in some late model tbird seats and finish the rear seat}
    *Bumpers...want to send for chrome but I cleaned and polished the front bumper. Going to live for now. Trying to hold off...good chrome is not cheap.
    *Swap carrier with the 2.75 setup
    *FINALLY get my 11" police drums out back.
    *Tweak the vintage alpine radio...need to find a better hidden antenna! {Anyone know where I can get an antenna setup like the 80's GMC pickups used on the windshield??}

    *probably actually get my cruise control wheel installed and see if the stuff still works.

    At least this year, I won't have to dump $6500 into the GTS to just get it ready...
    :-\


    *Edit - BUYING A FRICKIN' ALUMINUM FLOOR JACK FOR GTS. :

    Tint the windows, maybe change the rear valance panel to a GT500 piece.

    Apply lots of wax.

      I still need to wax my car. Glazed twice.

      I thought about tinting the glass...but I have not bothered to do it.

                1. Decide which car to drive
                2. If driving El Camino, put new wheels on, wash, wax, load, load wine, go!
                3. If driving Chevelle, get new convertible top (mice ate the current one, little f&*%#$@ers), wash, wax, load, load wine, go!
