Like Doug, I would like to get my Camaro into the 10s. Doug already did it, so now I want to do it. Maybe the tunnel ram and 5.29 gears will get me there, and learning to shift gears quicker. I also need to sell off a bunch of these parts that are sitting around that I'm never going to use.

Get the original 327 back in my 69 vert just in time for the 50th anniversary of 69 Camaro's.

Start welding and other metal work on my 51 3100 and 69 SS.

Start de-cluttering the house and get it ready for sale, then retire!

But seeing how these have been my New Year resolutions for 5 years now, not to sure how well I can manage them But I did just tear down the 327 and am going to take it to the shop for a refresh

1. Sell most of the automotive parts accumulated from cars I no longer own or projects that never got executed. I want the space more than the money, and I don't want my family to have to deal with identifying and getting rid of this stuff without my help.
2. My classic car collection needs to be shaken up. I need to assemble my longtime project (1963 406/405 Galaxie 500XL) at least enough to make it sellable, and then cut loose one of the '65 ragtops.
3. All the kids are teenagers now, so I need to be deliberate about spending time with them when I can, and also work on "dating" my wife, now that the kids aren't so labor intensive and we make sure we still get along well when they're gone.
4. Workout/yoga/active. I turn 50 this year and I get stoved up way too easily now. Use it or lose it.
