Why Canadians are Crazy

[maxwellwedge]

Hey - We have 7 months of winter and 5 months of bad skiing. We are not going to wait to do things in the spring we need to do now! 

[Charger-Bodie]

what is it you are doing?

[69_500]

Looks like he is washing all of the  that Gene left on the car from the weekend. 

[maxwellwedge]

Steam cleaning the crud from the bottom of the car and wheel wells.

OK - You caught me - The guy in the radiation suit is from the secret service

He's intalling a 4wd kit and rubber tracks so he can use it to groom the snowmobile trails.

It would be safer jacked up in the air with salt and snow .Thats quite a work effort taking place nice work.I thought this showed heavy duty initiative Till I seen the Doc Daytona.With it up like thats not much you cant do

Not gonna get much traction with them itty-bitty little tires in the first pic.... 

[maxwellwedge]

F70-15 Redlines -  Standard on a Hemi...still spinning the tires through the traps!

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

What did you use to get it up that high on the stands?

[hemi68charger]

What an amazing sight !!!!!!  Super duper sweet !!!!!!
One day,,, One day !!!

[hemi68charger]

What did you use to get it up that high on the stands?

Rolled down the windows and lifted via the roof by forklift?

C'mon maxwellwedge tell the truth, you are trying to melt all our snow! Well the cat's out of the bag, that's how we survive up here! When mother nature won't comply, we need to take action!

[Ghoste]

I'll be glad when you work your way to this end of the province then. 

[maxwellwedge]

What did you use to get it up that high on the stands?

Well, we made those "stilts" very heavy duty including tabs for tie-downs for trailering. We used a big-ass floor jack to get the front up, put those 10 ton jack stands under, did the same at the rear. We went back and forth 3 times to do it "little by little" at a time so the angle of the car was never at a scary rake.

You noticed the snow and then pavement on the before and after EH?

It was never anything but solid because we did it a small amount at a time. Those stilts are stronger than the car. OK - you got me - look closely - there are clear cables holding up the car   

[maxwellwedge]

In the spring I am going to install a 2 post hoist outdoor on a concrete pad so I can do this kind of stuff easier. The steam cleaner I have does a beautiful job of cleaning off grease, oil, crud, spray bomb rubberized undercoating, Hemigeno drool without wrecking paint, dip paint, original markings and factory undercoat.

Need a longer hose............ Never heard that before 

[tan top]

   good idea , sure beats crawling around on the wet , muddy concrete ... with short jack stands ! in a water proof suite .....trying to steam clean the under side    don't ask  

[WingCharger]

I wouldn't trust those stands, and your life depends on it.

The stilts look okay, it is just, well, what would happen if the wind started blowing?

If the wind started blowing the wing would stabilize the car.  Duh, its an aero car!

NO!! The wing would provide downforce, and thus break the rear stands!

 *Edit *
wing charger just beat me to the down force deal     

    break the rear stands

As long as the wind was 200 MPH everything would be good!

[tan top]
