Winter projects Whats Yours?

Same as my spring, summer and fall projects. Try to get my car back from the paint shop so I can start to reassemble it. Just over seven months now and far from done. I think my wife may be bribing the guy to never finish it.
 
trying to recover so I might be able to hit it hard this spring
 
I'll be installing torque boxes, subframe connectors, taking a peek at the motor, new torque converter, shocks, slicks , street tires driveshaft loop and pinion snubber. I guess I better get going.
 
I bought this car 10 years ago, immediately dismantled and media blasted (car was painted twice over original paint and had to remove very old and hard original undercoating) and replaced the rear qtr's due to damage, car was solid from Oklahoma, did all this the first year then it sat. Started again on it 1.5 years ago, finally happy with how straight it was I painted it this past fall. Suspension, glass, weatherstripping are in. Ordered all interior soft goods and convertible top from Lengendary Auto Interiors before Christmas, that's when they run their sale, plus I live a half hour away from them. Should have in a couple weeks, so I will be working on that the next couple months. 383 is tore down, will take to the machine shop around March, hoping to have it done by July 2014 in time for the Syracuse Nationals.

P.S. I put it back to the original color..F5..and added the GTX black on the bottom with a .25" F5 pinstripe that is just below where the Satellite trim will go. The car came with a Bronze/Saddle interior which I am changing to black and white with a black convertible top which is the original color. This is also a numbers matching car with power brakes/steering, A/C and cruise control, 83,000 original miles.
