Looking for a general consensus of  what to refresh on the car after the season is over.

Thanks,
Robert

Hi Robert,

This time of year, most tear the car completely down and generally go through EVERYTHING. Check frame for square and straight, control arms, rear end, wiring, nut and bolts, etc... Also a good time to prep body for paint. (Steve loves to see new pait jobs! lol!) Just go through the whole car and make sure everything is ready for next year.
Stay Warm,

Steve

The only thing I replace every off season no matter what is the throttle cable.
Anything else is on as an needed basis as I tear it down to bare frame and rebuild each 8 month long off-season.

If you use inexpensive heim joints, it doesn't hurt to replace them yearly, as they do wear, and a full set costs under $100. Keep any good ones for emergency spares.

I thought the Paws For The Cause would be the lucky one!
Although my favorite was the Green/ purple car. I still plan to use that hood on my car.
