Time to Rebuild

[Monkey Wrench]

Well, decided to perform a complete tear-down and rebuild of my Savage SS that I bought from the great Sweetdiesel a few years back. Don't think I've done this since I bought it from him!

Plan on doing some upgrades on the 'Ol Boy. Off the bat, thinking an OS .30 VG (P) ES mill will get him running faster!

Also plan on going RPM on the arms all around and maybe some other areas as well.

I thinking of going with just four shocks rather than eight as well, haven't decided.

Any suggestions on sealed diff's? I want to be able to adjust the slip with different oils, but who knows. Still mulling that one over.

Looking forward to wrenching on it! Been awhile since I've been able to do it, but it's a new year and I have a new job, so things are looking up!

Thanks Joe! Thankfully, 2010 is in the PAST!!!!!! Rough, rough year, my man, but it's gone and I'm looking forward to a new year and getting back into the hobby!

Yeah, I'm glad to see 2010 go away myself, not at all a good year for me either.

You know you're gonna need a freshly painted custom lid for that Savage once you finish

Oh, already had that thought, my man and was going to ask (and of course, pay) for another NCNitro masterpiece! Just need to come up with a theme!

For the record, still haven't run that KISS lid, yet. WAY TOO SCARED to ding that baby up!

Probably my favorite lid I have ever painted. You ever run the Sponge Bob one?

I've run it a few times, but not in a race, yet. I'd be crushed if I tore it up!
