My to do list is pretty dang long, can anybody top this:

-replace felt on window guides
-peel tint off windows (scratched from #1), clean and re-tint
-replace hood pad
-probably time to replace my clutch
-change differential fluid

Regards,
Aaron

P.S. this is a re-post on my part, but Big you've defintely got a few more to-do's than I.

maybe. but mine seem easy compared to your clutch replacement.

 

[AFL in NJ]

Hey Big,

I'm actually kinda surprised I didn't see a clutch how-to in that section....maybe I'll buy some extra batteries for the camera and do a step by step.

Aaron

JP, whats the deal with that intake ?

my winter project is looking to be the same as it was last year...lol, just a shorter list this time around...

 

[jp]

The deal is to find all hidden power in a Super Stock Eliminator spec Viper V10. Must use stock TBO:s, intake and camshaft/valvetrain is free...

You could be charged with and maybe even convicted of being a garage queen with that list Big I!

And about winter... We don't have that in Texas any more. But I'm putting my new cooling system in right now; Ron Davis radiator, new water pump, Roe hoses, 180 stat, etc.

Plan on doing Belanger headers and HF cats as soon as Jon B puts them on sale.

And a list of smaller things that defies server space to post it all.

Will you have time for all of that? Don't you people in Oregon have to shovel snow 24/7 all during football season?

 

[AFL in NJ]

i have started the stripping and painting on my gen 1 dash. im in the process of doing a demo on the door handle surround. i stripped it with easy off. it comes off really good the more gummy it is. i fixed a crack and sanded it down. i decided to go with flat black spray paint. i have primed it and put on the first coat of flat black and i have to say it looks better than a professional job! im going to do one more coat and then 2-3 coats of flat clear coat. if it all works the way i think it will, i will pull the dash and radio surround and start stripping that. i just cant wait to see it all done. that scuffed up dash was really starting to embarrass me.

Three two word phases... track days, track days, and track days. Eventually I want to do headers and roller rockers, maybe I'll get bored enough to finally spend the cash this winter

 

[GTSDave]

New Brake Discs all round (going for slotted and dimpled)
Hurst Short Shifter to install
Couple of other shiny metal bits to add (Hopefully)

The car is already tucked up for the winter, I can't wait for spring...
