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.

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.

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 !!!

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...
