so i accidently bought a car and started a challenge team last night. have questions.

...also, will Super Gary be adorning the rear quarters?

In reply to 4cylndrfury:

Quarter windows. Like the old super bee. Have to find someone to make them.

Duster, you can try a tire warming "hack". Grab some cardboard that is roughly 30" tall and long enough to wrap around the perimeter of the car, and with the car idling wrap the cardboard around the car with it resting on the ground; this will trap the exhaust fumes (Co2 warning) and use the exhaust heat to warm the tires.

Foil face the inside for bonus points!

In reply to Nessumsar:

Or perhaps four cheap electric blankets plugged into a 240 line?

Congrats on getting it running and driving. I need to check this out in person sometime. Keep at it

Updates? It's been a week!

He tried Nessumsar's tire-warming trick and has been comatose.

I just haven't had a chance to write it up. Been busier than a cat scratching for a place to E36 M3 on concrete.....

Or one armed wallpaper hanger.

I enjoy tales of the three-peckered billy goat, but I shan't delve into their context.

Dang I forgot your infamous FPBG's BWaHahahahaaaaa!!!! Hey I mentioned you in my 'welding helmet' thingy in the shop forum....what is that brand you're sportin' these days?

Harbor freight!

The one with two knobs is much better than the single knob variant.

Truer words my friend, truer words.. doesn't matter what the knobs go to.

Two knobs ????? I am not knowing of that.....

Congratulations on the test drive. Perseverance prevails... I'm glad to hear your friends woes have been resolved. Been out of the box a while due to an operation with some complications, but all is well...well now. Good luck!!!

In reply to Dirtydog:

Glad to have you back!
