After a successful season finishing 6th in the East Coast International Pro Stock Tour schedule, our car emerged with almost no damage. I thought about leaving it and saving our team time and money to replace or repair things. However, once a list of things was made, I decided to strip the car down and repair all the items that needed fixing. We did all the repairs and removals other than those mentioned done by R&D Performance. Here is a rough list I wanted to have done by November 30th. Thanks to Chris White, Jack Lynds,Bob Landry and Tyler Hallahan for helping getting this all done by the time set
* remove all body panels
*send them out for repaint at PYE Chevrolet
*remove the fuel cell and repair the 3 stripped studs on the quick change with heli-coils
*remove the drive shaft,transmission, bell housing and clutch assembly
*replace the 2 discs
*fix the trans leak at the front
*replace both u-joints in the driveshaft (R&D Performance)
*replace the release bearing
*reinstall all the drive line components
*bleed clutch
*remove all 4 hubs and wheel bearings, clean and repack and reinstall
*install new pads front and rear *install 4 calipers
*bleed brakes
*remove 4 shock and spring assemblies and send to R&D Performance for dyno test.
*remove all 4 calipers and have new seals installed (R&D Performance)
*shampoo the chassis complete
*install newly painted body panels *except front fenders and nose (more room for engine work)
*replace valve springs (R&D Performance at my shop)
Still need to replace the 4 shocks, both front fenders and nose. Once that’s done we will be finished for 2022, the earliest ever for my team. Then to work on sponsors.
I will hopefully have a sponsor report soon as we get set to start season #54 and our 49th with Quaker State.
