    Coupe Winter Mods

    Many thanks to Gary Jones, good friend and master mechanic, for seeing to a lot of little mods that have been on the back burner for some time:

    1. Russ Thompson pontoon stiffeners.
    2. Russ Thompson "Daytona" script aluminum door sills.
    3. Russ Thompson scoop window "block-off" kit.
    4. Replaced both scoop windows ... original ones broken/cracked.
    5. Installed remote filter and oil cooler.
    6. Rehung both doors ... both were "sagging" and hard to open/close.
    7. Replaced rear hubs/bearings and installed HD axle/CV joints from The Drive Shaft Shop.

    Including a few pics:

    Hadn't seen those pontoon stiffeners before they look great with the rolled edge lightening holes. Very cool.

    “If you didn’t have enough time to do it right the first time. How come you always have time to go back and do it again?” FFR1000186CP

    Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
    Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall and torque is how far you take the wall with you.
