I have been doing some upgrades, went from empty to something in a couple of weeks. This junk needs to be going down a track in a couple of more weeks.

Got a pair of shocks I need to fab brackets up for and install. I also have a new PTC converter here I need to get in. A solid weekends worth of work. Of course the car is in the trailer and there is 15" of snow on the ground behind it. Doesn't look like its gonna come out of the trailer anytime soon. I got till may anyway. Gonna try and hit some big money races this year. WFC and such. I will probably get beat up on but oh well.

NO!!!!!
It took me 17 years to do anything to the car outside of an occasion drivetrain freshening and this will be the last time I take it apart like this!!! Basically starting from scratch.
I literally pulled a groin muscle maneuvering and climbing around the inside welding in the damn thing! Walked with a gimp for 2 days while all along Carole laughs at me!! Got to get it done because I am not allowed to race hers again this season.
