Default Winter Break Plans

Alright as some of you know it's finals for college and after that we get a nice long break. I have a a few plans during the week. Add anything you might think would be smart to do while i'm at it to the stang.

-Spark plugs....going NGK.....(double platinum is not all its cracked up to be)
-Oil Change
-Good engine detail.
-Take off rear wing. (Just to see how it looks)
-Interior deatail and may also paint some things.
-Steeda UD Pulleys are FINALLY and officially in the mail.(Plus I think some other goodies)
-Rear brake pads.....(finally wore out and are starting to squeak)

*Also something you guys should look foward to. I'm redoing my brake caliper paint job. And correcting some mistakes I made from last time. This will deffinitely be different. Might also do a write up with lots of pics

I know everyone is doing the duplicolor, I did it not bad but i'm gonna do a different brand this time. I will be using VHT High Temperature Brake Caliper Paint. Except this time I wont use a clear coat, (I think thats where I went wrong last time) the reason behind this is that the paint is designed to resist crap and I think I weakend the paint last time. And I dont know if I will be doing the vinyls of the pony on the fronts.

Let me know what you guys think black Caliper with a Red protector or should I do my usual special Black caliper and a Silver protector.

Im putting in a new clutch, and adjuster/quadrant, but that all goes together. Other than that, I think Im tapped out for the year with the car. Oh, but a dyno tune is scheduled for the middle of January.
