I know I’m not the only one burning through my hard earned money and giving up my free time in hopes of creating something cool as hell. What is everyone up to this winter? How are the builds going? Post pics!!! As many know my winter has been building a 65 Nova, LS+turbo, and getting better at TIG welding. Lots of fun so far. ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMG_1215_zps25f2f907.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMG_1215_zps25f2f907.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMG_1212_zps00ef2630.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMG_1212_zps00ef2630.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMG_1283_zps4601c26e.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMG_1283_zps4601c26e.jpg) ---

When it warms up a little I’ll put the transmission back together for the rabbit. Nothing really amazing there - 5th gear swap for a highway gear. Put an ABA in it after the VR6 didn’t work out. My nova is just sitting. Maybe the SBC will finally explode and give me motivation to swap it. ---
