By now most of you should have the cars up in storage for the winter. Anyone have any big projects planned for the car? Myself, I am doing just a little trim work. You never get the car completely finished the way you like it.

Also. not to long from now is Autorama. Steve Frey and I met up last year for the show in Detroit. What about the rest of you. Can we we get enough folks together to meet up at the show this year. Two months gives you plenty of time to get it in your calendars. Let me know and I can set up a meeting place.

Dale, Mine is in the body shop now. I scored a couple of Malibu doors, in great shape, from a coworker. The body shop is transfering the locks, windows, etc. They are primered & sealed but I can't afford paint just now. I'll just have to go around with grey primered doors for awhile. The doors that were on my sled were replacement doors. This will be the third set for a 27 year old vehicle. The steel in the g-body doors must have been absolute crap. These probably won't last as long as the car but hopefully they will outlast me. Jon

I have seats, carpet and headliner out of my '85. Shopping around for replacement products. I'm having a problem finding a close match for dark burgandy. Looked at NPD, Livonia last monday. Nothing.

I spent the last 3 days trying to get the passenger power window to work properly!!!!!!!!! Still not right.

Once the interior is finished, I'm jumping to the engine compartment. Cam, EFI and headers. Hope to be finished in time for Spring.

I'd like to go to Autorama. I am in Dewitt Michigan. (north side of Lansing)

There is a place in Alabama that specializes in carpet for automobiles. They will custom mold in any color you want. I beleive they still have a web site. They go by the name of Auto Custom Carpets.

You know, it sure was a lot easier to post links and photos before the switch to this new format.
