what are you winter plans for the ride????

[RECHRGD]

New cam/heads/converter combo.  Freshen up the tranny.  Shovel snow.

[bull]

The word "ride" could indicate that it moves under its own power and I'm a long ways from that. Let's just say I need almost one of everything or, too much to list. But hey, it is progressing. Honestly.

[justin1987]

I'm getting the car back from the paint shop in a few weeks and I'll be putting it back together over the next couple of months.

[0X01B8]

Mostly cosmetic changes...change my white stripe to black...new set of wheels & tires.  Can't wait to get them on and show you the new look.     Plus the roads where I live are an abomination and the low profile 17s are killing me.  If the roads get much worse I'll need a chase car to pick up the pieces that fall off.  Also maybe some kind of hidden stereo system.  I can't handle any more AM talk radio.

Put the Black Pig back together and acyually drive it !!!! 


Ron

You better put that thang back together...we have a little contest at a dragstrip to complete.....LOL 

69 Hemi car.......start planning and tuning the rear suspension to handle the HP of the new motor...new springs, shocks, maybe a set of Cal Tracks. Needs rear tires....

71 sixpack car.....FINISH BODY/PAINT work....2 years is enough!

65 Ply Satellite.....order Dana 60 rear......start chassis work....hope to have chassis done by spring/summer.......IF the body work is finished on the 71.....

[bill440rt]

I just winterized the '70 R/T in it's hermetically sealed cocoon. 
The '68 needs nothing at this point.

For the '69, the wheels & tires should be here in a few weeks, as well as some pieces that are currently at the chrome platers. Once they're on, the plans are to get the Classic Auto Air setup. That can get mocked up & then install their heater/AC box, then on to install the dash, windshield, back glass, & related trim. I hope to have that accomplished by spring, so I can move on with the engine plans. Slow, slow, slow...

[Mefirst]

This is my plan for the winter...

1. Get the Hemi bolted together.
2. Do some electrical upgrades and wiring.
3. Rebuild the rear brakes.
4. Drop the Hemi in between the front fenders.

+ a million other things that I'm shore will come up before my ride is ready to hit the street/strip....

PS. -Ooh, and during the season 2008 hit such a low 1/4mile time, that Ron the Firefighter has to send over a case of beer....

Doug, get to work on that 69....we're still on for a case of Keiths. 

I've allready booked vacation for the LVD mopar show in September....it's close enough for both of us to meet up and have a little heads-up fun....approx 5hrs from here. 

I've been wanting to go to that show for awhile but it allways falls on a w/e that i am working.    Well...not in 2008 it doesn't.

Ron

You got it Ron, I'll try to have it dialed in by then. The only problem will be if it runs faster then what the rollbar\cage requirement is.....that's my only worry. I'll get one shot and then get tossed off the track. My best guess is I'm somewhere in the low 12s to high 11s right now......I'm not going to cut the car so if I'm right...well...we will only get one shot at it. 

I was running mid 12s in the 71 and I KNOW this car would stomp all over that! I'm not sure what the break is for rollbar/cage, but I'm real close if not over the limit.....

[69bronzeT5]

Nothing planned at the moment...car cant go to the body shop until Spring.

[TUFCAT]

I'm having somebody come out to stub a gas line into my garage on Thursday then I can install my heater.  As far as winter projects - who knows? .... ( I hate working in the cold....this is Michigan!), so this will be a BIG start.
