#1 Larry Winter New Year and new Ideas  
What new plans do you guys have for your cars? Any changes, new engines, gears or maybe make it into a 4x4 Mav? Post pics show what your doing.

I do like the 4x4 Mav / Com bit Larry. I think maybe i'll paint my Comet green and make it a 4x4 and paint Gravelman on the door. :)

What-da-ya-think?:evil:
