Default Winter Upgrade / Projects

Anyone doing any upgrading or projects over the winter?
Myself I'm going to do some cabin upgrades, LED lighting probably replace the headliner and change some of the material on the side panels. Going to replace all of the fuel lines from the tank to the engine with some new fuel/water seperators.

Hey Joe, sounds like you got a busy winter...I don't think you have any problem keeping up with any Cig out there, although I heard Dan is putting bigger blowers on

Its all about the reliability/safety this winter for me, Drive Guardian, putting in warning switches and LEDS, stage 4 10-71, less heat better efficiency, adjustable guide plates, something with the exhaust to keep the 02`s drier, new starters, oil pans gaskets, before and after the blower intake manifold temp gauge, I`d love to do heads but i don`t think its in the budget this year, transom trim switches..

Wetsand with 320, 600,800,1000,1500,2000, then hit it with a buffing wheel and some white rouge. It will look like a mirror. Start now, you might get it done by spring!

Don't do it! It will look fantastic.........when it is clean, but it is a total nightmare to keep polished aluminum looking good!
