Default Winter time changes for Coach

We decided after 12 years of racing Coach's 02 SS that the wiring and steering column had to go. We called Speartech and got a stand alone engine harness built for the car. Then we rewired the needed accessories with a Speedwire switch panel. Racecraft column was ordered and a Glasstek dash.

Came out nice. Do you usually leave the finish in gloss? I'm just wondering if you run into the dash reflecting onto the windshield.

Column with quick release all the way to the rack weighed 15lbs. Stock column with an aftermarket wheel weighed 28lbs.

Total weigh reduction this time was 105 lbs.

The Glasstek dash actually looks like a camaro dash, not a firebird... looks good.

Coach,

I mentioned to madman today about selling a set of et drags that I have and he mentioned you may be needing some tires soon. They are 29.5x10.5x15 ET Drags. I have only 7 passes on them and they are only a couple months old. I'd let them go cheap cause I've moved to a different tire. I just need them out of they way. Would you be interested?
