new suspension, get the 351 in there, rebuild the rear(probably going from the 3.27s to 3.73s or 4.10s if I decide to go with a 5 speed) 13" brakes, bullit wheels, and a paint job if I get a new compressor this year or have the money to have it done.

I know that I have talked about this alot but after finding lots of sites with stuff to do it, I really am going to put a computer in my car. not only that it is going to be in my dash board where the head unit would go. I plan on taking out my mini console and put a monitor mount there along with a keyboard. I also want to setup multipul power supplies for diffrent items such as usb dvd and cd burner ect. and I am going to try for a wireless network since I have all of the stuff for a 1 mile network already.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

-Have the car lowered

Plans have been altered since I've decided to go to Carlisle this year and have to give up a good 2 months working time:

5 lug 4 wheel disc swap
Upper and lower control arms
Fenders, hood, header panel replacement
Re-Paint (seeing as the whole nose needs to be done anyway, might as well do the whole car)
And some misc goodies

Being vague is fun :)
