What upgrades do you have planned
If I seem envious if those who have driving weather year round it's because I am. Now that the weather in the northeast seems to be changing its apparent that the winter lay up isn't that far off.
I'm contemplating a wheel upgrade from 17's to 18's, an LSD to get away from the open diff and some driving lights for the dark nights. A few cosmetics are going to be addressed and led's for the taillights. So what do you have planned?

For comp car.....
1) Fuel gauge adjustment. Requires a bit of work to gain access.
2) Glove box and glovebox door installation.
3) Some touch up painting. Frame in particular where summer welding messed up paint
4) Adustment of wiper motor and rod
5) Install updated tach and speedo cable.
Street car
1) Complete frame welds via Perfection Metals
2) Prime and paint frame
3) Install rear differential. Parts designed by myself (just like I did on comp car) fabricated via Racewhere.
4) Atach body to frame parts Sagebrush, Racewhere and ERA
5) Alloy work by my friend at Panel Craft
6) Paint via Restoration Station "deep blue"
7) Install inner alloy panels via yours truly
8) Motor via Cobra Automotive
9) Assorted parts via Racewhere
10) Begin electrical and dash set up. (Thanks Mr Wagner)
Phew guessing only time will limit expectations.

I'm ditching the distributor for wasted spark coil packs driven by the megasquirt. I've machined a distributor plug to drive the oil pump and bought the parts. I need to pull the megaquirt and add 4 coil drivers and the associated wiring. I'll be glad to be rid of the MDS parts. |

Have you considered a Midstates?. The current Shell Valley car is a Midstates hybrid... The kits are well priced and you could build fresh, instead of correcting other peoples bad choices.. |
