has anyone done a "what upgrades are you doing this winter" post yet?

Im:

~ lowering the rear end of the car (new shocks & mounts)
~ changing fuel system, & trunk layout
~ Tubular A-Arms & coil over conversion up front)
~ New Trans
~ going from Nitrous to Turbo
~ new motor to go with Turbo setup
~ re-wiring car
~ fire system (s)

Too much to do, to little money.

Bob

My next project is painting my dads Model "A" over Christmas shut down.

Then I start on the Van.
Freshen up motor
Rewire and rework N2O system (thanks to Mr. Pittman)
tune-up the suspension a little
and hopefully repaint in the spring
Then go for that 11 sec time slip. I've did 12.34 with a 100 hp shot. Time to put in the 250 hp jets. :shock: :D
