Winter Projects

Well for myself I don't have anything big planned.

Replace header gaskets. Remove the CD player and speakers that the original owner installed. Get it up in the air and just clean the undercarriage. It's pretty clean, but I know I can make it look better.

Went to the Griots garage sale last Saturday and bought their complete cleaning/polishing/wax system, including orbital buffer. Guess I will put about 70 coats of wax on it during the long, cold, wet days of fall, winter, and most of spring.

Body work, paint and then re-assembly. The good thing is, I have 7 months to get it done before cruisn' season begins.

As a newbie I'm butting in on your forum, but thought I would introduce myself. Am expecting delivery of a SPF GT 40 in January. Will be installing a Roush 427 (Windsor) over the winter and hope to get my RBT transaxle by May. Have never owned a big torque V8, but have raced Formula Atlantics so am looking forward to this. Will have to get up Seattle way to meet you guys next year.

You may want to make the aquaintence of Pat Buckley on this and the Gasholes site. He too has a GT40 and raced Atlantic cars at one time.
