well, my car is my DD, so it will be driven on any nice day i can...but:

heatercore will be getting done
all new weatherstripping (hopefully those two will be done before winter)
fix my power door locks and put in a keyless entry system.
new floor mats
SLP Loudmouth Catback
get my in-cowl fuel pressure gauge installed
get my battery kill switch installed.
new speedometer gear so my speedo will finally be correct.
and fog light fix, so i can have them on with the parking lights.
bump timing

Once the stroker is finished (hopefully in Dec) then I will be getting the car ready for a fresh paint job. (Jan-Feb sometime)

New suspension. My springs are over 40 years old now, and though it does ok with the traction bars, if I try to leave hard it'll still get mad wheel hop if I'm not careful. It's just plain wore out, so some newer springs should help in the 60' dept. big time. And gears if I can find the money for that as well, prolly 3.40's since I have no overdrive and do a lot of highway driving.
