Hey all

I was just curious what everyone's plan for their cars over the winter. I myself am kind of at a crossroads. I think the coronet has a lot more in it with a few tweaks to the chassis. So, I'll be focusing on that for me.

What are you all doing?

Mike

My plans r to install some sort of A/F meter so i can tune in this e-85 carb.

Nothing till after the first of the year,,,then not sure after that, kind of interested in the new smallblock Eddy heads.

Complete front suspension rebuild with offset uca bushings, new headers and redesign the exhaust.

Too much Can see it lasting till Mar/April'12

Move House (3 weeks time)
Remove Motor & Box
Strip front end, repaint & put back together
Rebuild motor
get box freshened
Motor & box back in
Then finalise turbo install, new Fuel system,MAP FI



Some where in-between that lot, do some bits on the house

putting the frt end on a major "weight loss" program and then freshen up the motor.
thats plenty enough for right now

I plan on having my 65 Belvedere 1 complete for next season....

TONS

Rebuild the engine for the procharger
Finish the procharger setup
Have a tranny build to withstand the new power
New Driveshaft Loop etc
Switch to a Locker for the Dana

Forgot, sending my heads to Dwayne Porter to get done

May pull out all the wiring for the fast xfi system so that I can dyno the engine

Loose a few more pounds, tweak my combo a little more, CNC port the heads.....then go get my 8 second N/A small block time slip. Probably going to run the divisionals next year in Super Street and try my hand at that throttle stop/pro tree racing stuff.

In order until I run out of cash...

Replace all front end bushings.
Engine rebuild.
Change shifter handle.
Engine compartment detail.
Add power brake booster.
Replace brake drums and shoes.

finally got the 63 Dodge back in the garage after all these years in the trailer...so I'm planning on finishing it and installing the 499 that was in the Duster..

and..

pull the engine from the Camaro and freshin it up along with some upgrades..

it will be a busy and expensive winter to say the least...but I'll have fun

Pretty much the same thing I'd planned for LAST winter... which goes to show how (un)sucessful that effort was.

Brad... I happen to know of a test mule for those Victor heads as long as you are not using them...

Go through everything. New tires, maybe change gears, maybe Q16. Putting together a list now.

Just plan to upgrade to a larger electric fuel pump over the red Holley pump on it now. Other then that just plan to tweak the car over the next few years hoping to work it down to 10.50's. Ron

Line lock, braided brake lines, 2" headers, run braided 3/8 line to carbs........ummm that should do it. Hope to pick up a tenth or 2.

Well as of Wednesday it sounds like I could be having a very big sale over the winter.

Carbed/Forged Eddy headed 408
Bigs Stage5 950HP
CSR water pump
Manual brake conversion
Manual steering conversion ?
Complete rewire (again)
6 point Roll Bar
Kirky seat & 5 point harness
Weight loss...Me and the truck.

I would have started by now, but I'm 3rd in points in the Mopar Shootout, last race tomorrow.

My plans are simple. Move the car in the back of the garage, place it on jack stands, and put the cover on it. Then bring out the snowmobiles.
