Winter Time upgrades
 

Lets try this......

What is everybody doing to their stuff this off season......

We are installing an anti roll bar in our super stocker......

And making the Vette motor a 632 just in case they change the index.....lol

Not really.....just freshening it....

Trying to put a new grill in the motorhome....And hope to open in Belle Rose....

Corvette - Absolutely nothing...keeping it on jack stands with the battery charger hooked up to it. It's only got 20 runs on it after far too much time off, so it's fresh and ready to go.

Finish up the dragster, and then complain that the indexes are too slow and that I have to put too much time in my throttle stop.

Motorhome - Pray to God every day for him to take it from me.

Buick sitting on stands waiting for Virginia next yr, Just need a new helmet and window net. Just under 200 passes, get 1 more season out of this JA Performance prepped piece. I hope.

Putting the finishing touches on my 8.50 index car which cant go 8.50 yet.

Re: Winter Time upgrades
 

Jason, if you would just park in the right neighborhood you would not have to pray to God for such a petty thing.

Rock, would you install an anti roll in my roadster? I dont mean you like personally, I would be sceard to drive after an elec wiz welded on it. By the way your car is as fast as a 632 now anyway.

Re: Winter Time upgrades
 

After I get done with all the winter work on my customers rides,I may have time to freshen up my Vette and find a few more mph with a new converter from Eddie Select.

I might even get some time to work on the old Willys .
Got a 482" Rodek to go in and a lot of parts to make it "street legal".
Want to make it a street driven B/Gas 8.60 index car.
Hey Gary wanna run Heads Up !!!

Re: Winter Time upgrades
 

Its not a problem Jeff....My partner is one of those can do it all..kind of guys...

Re: Winter Time upgrades
 

Rewiring the rat's nest in the S/ST car with a new kit from K&R, and replacing a stock decklid with a nice fiberglass bolt-on piece.

Fixing the bent frame in the S/G car that I stood on the bumper during bracket-mode testing in Nov. Then upgrading the trans and hoping I can hit a .370 tree with a 2850# car.

Re: Winter Time upgrades
 

Putting a crank trigger on it (kinda tricky as the F.I. pump is mounted there also) upgradeing to a coil that's compatable with my MSD grid controller.Sending the belts back for rewebbing/recert. Buying a new helmet (that snell 2000's got to go!) Sending the converter in for inspection/stall change.Building a double dump valve body for the spare transmission.

Re: Winter Time upgrades
 

Im finally going to put a glide in my pontiac and putting new hoosiers and new fuel pump on the jr

Re: Winter Time upgrades
 

We're supposed to work on our cars during the winter ?

Re: Winter Time upgrades
 

The K&R wiring kit is the best thing I've ever used .
Way cheaper and quicker than using individual components.

Re: Winter Time upgrades
 

I just wired a 69 amx using the k&r wiring kit and pro cube and thats a really nice setup,great job kevin

Thinking about going to "Hair Club For Men "& loosing 10 lbs ( 7 lbs was put on during cruise last week) growing a few inches to try to look like my hero Rock Haas !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Winter Time upgrades
 

Doing nothing in the winter except putting on the 10 lbs that Tommy is losing, re-packing the parachute and figuring out if I should race 1 more year or buy a house.

Re: Winter Time upgrades
 

New valve springs, leak test engine, new front brakes and rotors, and possibly tires.

Re: Winter Time upgrades

Re: Winter Time upgrades

Re: Winter Time upgrades

Pretty soon I'm going to look like a polar bear...lol

Re: Winter Time upgrades
 

I get Grayer just thinking of you Guy's !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Winter Time upgrades
 

Funny thing is that I just went and winterized it yesterday, and when I went to the compartment that gives me access to the water tank, I found out that I had left it unlocked, which also had firewood and lighter fluid left it it from when we went camping. I guess subconsciously I was REALLY hoping somebody would find that open cabinet and use the aforementioned supplies on it.

Like a dummy, I locked the cabinet yesterday when I was done with it...

Re: Winter Time upgrades
 

What's winter? lol
Vegas doesn't race in December; I guess that is winter. . .

Re: Winter Time upgrades
 

Finally got new car on the jig, now have to keep cutting! Old reliable 355 is currently getting its required 5yr. freshen up. Now if I can just get the heater hooked up!!!! E

Re: Winter Time upgrades
 

Us northerners.....probably wouldn't know how to act if we didn't have winter...lol. It does give us time to take our stuff apart.....if it didn't get cold.....I would just race all the time.....lol. Would probably blow everything up....lol

Re: Winter Time upgrades
 

I've thought about that. What would I do if I lived in SoCal or Fla where you could race all the time? When would you get the big things done? And probably more importantly, what would being single again be like, since my wife would surely leave me...

Re: Winter Time upgrades
 

your not putting the big block in it?

Re: Winter Time upgrades
 

And be broke and divorced:)

Re: Winter Time upgrades
 

X's 2
And K&R wiring is the real deal.

Re: Winter Time upgrades
 

I was going to buy the K&R unit until I saw the product from speedwire systems. Much better/durable piece.

Re: Winter Time upgrades
 

Just got my #1 Stop back from Gary, he freshened it up for the 2012 season. Dan DaVinci Freshened up my Alky carb. So we will get it back together and wait for March 30th in San Antonio.
