What are your plans for the winter break? I plan to have my axles drilled for 5/8 studs, a new 9" Dynamic converter, and install a lightweight Flaming River steering box I have.

[BILTIT]

Just finishing my new 24x30 garage in the back.

Higher stall convertor, minitub, narrowed rear, caltracs, rewire gauges, etc to get rid of the rats nest. I would like to upgrade to some aluminum heads in spring ~310cfm, also roller cam would be nice.

Putting a 400 pontiac in my 80 chev 4x4.

[Hooter]

Trying to finish this(63 Lemans)...... Lots of time and money still to be spent.

I will only have time to change the oil and put on new slicks....winter is short in Southern California.

Lookin' to go from low 11's to 10:40's or so...After the race, the bar's coming out...Just want to comply to the rules and not do all the work and get tossed for something like that....I do my own fab work, so, no biggie....It's like 7 month's away, yet feels like less than a month and it's GO time!!!!

[grandville455]

Putting on some KRE SD 290 cnc 85 c.c heads and their old faithful 236/245 roller!

[pont406]

Make a few changes (bigger dia headers, new Eaton posi unit, upgrade fuel system)to my 66 Lemans street car, and finish my 63 Lemans drag car project for spring/summer action!

Still trying to finish the two Fords taking up shop space, get the winter beater running, some passive heat in the shop is on the list. Once the winter beater is done Old Ugly is going in for some updates. The cage will go in, the subframe connectors will get welded, and the doors and fenders will get molds pulled to make glass pieces. When I am burnt out on working with one I work on another, so the Fords might actually get somewhere this winter. Should have the 467 back in and connected with a new stall before March, provided nothing bad (expensive) happens between now and then.

On the plus side of the Ford thing, one of them is in the Feb 09 issue of CarCraft.. w00t!

[wannabefast]

Installing weld magnum double beadlocks with new stickies, Installing a PG trans, repaint front end and doors, installing a sheet metal intake with fogger kit and tuning the two BRE 1050's already installed. Want to make sure the Q16 qualification at Norwalk won't be a problem next year.

And painting blue T/A stripes on the new white Honda 440 pit vehicle.

[Jagtec1]

Taking ~ 18 months off to paint car and build new motor (IA2 block) with some work to my heads. Need to go faster!

[Tom McQueen]

My winter project is to get the new motor completed and on the dyno. Hopefully by mid March.

But we also have a very short winter.

[ponjohn]

Depends on money. Might take it apart to upgrade motor with the knowledge it might not run next year.

If so:

Al. heads
roller
relocate battery
2-300 lb weight loss
Clean up engine compartment

[beemergary]

Still trying to get my 61 tempest wagon 421 sd 4 speed street strip car painted and back together. Am way over schedule. Also thinking how to knock off a couple 1/10s on my 63 tempest 421sd street strip car. Will run 11.60s but run it in NSS and there on a .5 index and it won't go 11.50 so run 12.00 and usually break out. Its a traditional pontiac. Any idea's

[ventura7211]

The first winter project is done, wood stove is now operational, lol.

Next up is build a 9" to replace the broken dana 60. I have just about all the parts needed, guess I just need to do it, lol.
