Plans
These are my plans for my cars this year.
Box. My plans for Box this year is to preemptively catch/stabilize/prevent any rust, and get some maintaince issues done that I haven't gotten to.
Emily. The big plan for Emily this year is to finish some projects & deal with some issues to make her truly drivable. I'm frustrated with not really being able to use her, so this is a big deal to me. Plus the last few years I've dumped a lot of money into her every year in big projects (floors/carpet, rear suspension, exhaust, etc.), this years I want to get the last details of them sewn up before embarking on the next big project.

- Replace both belts & get them tensioned correctly so they don't squeal like the ones I put in last year.
- Do a very thorough inspection of the body for any potential/starting rust and grind/seal it before winter.
- Completely replace fluid in brake system with new high-temp fluid.
- Replace all hoses & refill cooling system w/ fresh coolant.

- Fix the drone in the exhaust. I have one idea, but even if that doesn't work I am fixing this somehow.
- Install proportioning valve in brake system and do a full bleed (possibly rig up a pressure bleed).
- At least fix choke, preferably rebuild/replace carb. Possibly upgrade carb.
- Work on shift linkage, hopefully replace shift collar if I can find one.
- Radio & speakers?
- Get horns working.
