what i have been doing during isolation
Isolation is actually fairly normal to me. We already home school our children and run a home based business. I pulled my race car into the shop a week ago and built a light weight rad support that takes about 14 - 15 pounds off the front. It also moves the rad forward about 1 inch which gives me more room to work on the motor and have clearance for my electric fans. I'm real happy with it so far. I also built a better mount and bolted on the aluminum trans cooler you see.
Now i just have to build stand-offs for my hood pins.
I also took the time to put my new comp cams roller rockers on and get my engine running after a long winter. I take the rockers off every winter to help conserve the valve springs. I also re-jetted the carbs back down because i had richened them 2 jet sizes last fall but it didn't seem to help.
Also if anyone is interested in the laser cut alternator bracket that i sell, there is a picture of it modified for use with an electric water pump.

Re: what i have been doing during isolation
another thing i have been doing is getting rid of every single self-tapping screw on my car. I have come to the conclusion that self-tapping screws do not belong on a race car for any reason. They always come loose and will eventually fall out. Not a good thing to be falling on a race track !!! It should be an NHRA rule.

Hmmm, Kevin. That stuff's not the gooey yellow weatherstrip adhesive I associate with the name...

Re: what i have been doing during isolation
good to see some ingenuity !! Anyone else have a cool project they want to show off ?
The plague has caused a boom in some industries and a bust in others. I've been selling parts quite well. People have the time, they are bored, gas is cheap, and they aren't spending money on lots of other entertainment.

Interesting to read your post report on the effect of your new spankin front spoiler.
