      Project Bad Penny - more changes because done is boring

      Hey, what fun would it be if our cars were ever actually done?
      We built it, wrecked it, re-built, flogged it - we know what works, what needs work, and what sucks.

      I have a feeling the competition is going to keep getting faster, so an attempt to make the mousetrap a little better we will initiation a string of upgrades to orange '68.

      Most of these will entail suspension changes.

      1. Address lower control arm angle when car is at prefered ride height.
      2. Add rear adjustable sway bar.
      3. Calculate spring rates and adjust if necessary.
      4. Revalve Bilstein shocks to new suspension.
      5. Install proper breather system that still looks nice.
      6. Install oil cooler system.
      7. Rework gauge system with new units from STACK.
      8. Finally finish installing Safecraft fire system.

      The list will most likely grow, but this is a good start. In addition to getting her ready for all the autocross and open track junk later this year I will also be hitting the track more to get some much needed practice. Somebody else can take the damn pictures. lol

      So, to start it off here's my favorite picture from last year. She did good, but she's got a lot more in her.
