I may or may not come to this one. I'm not too sure if all the mods will be completed by then or not.
I doubt it.
I've been working at some visual and some traction mods so far.
Belltech's front 2" spindles $220.00
McGaughy's 3.5" rear kit (shackles & hangers) $200
Caltracs w/shipping about $390.00
Have to spend a little doe on some pair of 18" wheels and some Nitto 555r's for the back as well.
Don't know how much that will set me back. I want cheap used or new 18's but I want them to fit good too. I'm thinking wheels & tires $600 +
I will also be having to blow my money on a rear disc conversion kit as well from Baer. $1,100.00
The front kit w/ 6-piston calipers $2400.00
Then a Goodmark Cowl hood. That's about $500 + paint.
TB stall, vette servo, and shift kit (dont know which one yet) $500+
These mods are just setting me back from the power mods!
I'm now set back about $6,200 +
I'm paying another $350 for the drop kit and Caltracs install. (If I had time, I would do it myself).
Looks like about another 8,000K for the other mods
as well!!!!
I would have to say..........I WONT BE READY!
The other mods will be, but not the power mods.
This summer it should be all installed
, but not too sure if I want to flog my power combo in the heat of a Houston summer! I probably won't! I'll also be out of $$$ by then as well. Probably no more money to spare for gas! 
Any of you guys help on getting the above mentioned parts cheaper please let me in on it! I already have the lowering kit. Thanks.
Well, Good Luck to Me!

as you mentioned above.I drink no beer either. I like to hang out and chat, but working 7 days a week really hampers my just to hang out time. I have two jobs. One is my primary and the other is a weekend job. I rarely see my friends, family, and or my new wife. Any day that I may have off, I try and use it with my wife.
The only day I can usually try and give up is a Sunday. Though my wife works on Sundays, as she is a hair stylist. Sundays are one of her biggest days.
I took the weekend job due to boredom. My wife works during the weekends and I live in an apartment. I have no yard to mow or maintenance to do either. So I took up an easy weekend job.
I wish I had more time.
