yes, we'll need to get them, specially need to get him going under the bridge in Danville with the cutout OPEN!

Everything basically went as planned, few minor SNAFUs like the trac. control doesn't fit well over the valve covers so we have to "customize' a bracket, ripped the waterpump seal ( lucky Harold had two ). and we needed a few trips to the parts store for some minor stuff. But it fired up on the first attempt, had a slightly noisey rockers, but it just needed to be relashed.

Oh yah, and also after lowering the car down onto the K-member,,,, finding out I couldn't get myself out from under it! Um, guys,,,,, could you raise the car up just a few inches!

But the best part of the weekend was when someone would say 'Is that Right?' Ron would be first to reply ' Hey, It's not my car!' he he he, Now he knows why we had so much fun saying that to him as parts from his car where flying around Tom's! Of course, I had plenty of harrassment for Harold "Damn Kid".

Ron is now the offical shop foremen for all projects.

Even the LS1 guys are getting pretty good with the LT1s.

Well after two visits when it was my car "under the knife", it was dang nice and relaxing to actually watch / witness and get a bigger picture of things instead of having my stomach half way up my throat.

I knew what the joke was before, but now I really appreciate the humor, "Not my car..."

I'm seeing if I can split Saturday with Andrew and come down later in the afternoon.

you dont have any serious power mods but I would say with what you do have you will run about a 13.5 @ 99-100mph...

I'd say you ran pretty well then. 13.2 with nothing more than exhaust, gears and a mild stall is awsome. I had alot more in my car back in the day and couldnt manage to run numbers like that.

Ok, I guess we're all set for tomorrow. I've got a bunch of tools, sockets, wrenches, pliers, screw driver, magnet, pick, and hex keys, And of course a BIG HAMMER, plus the Spring compressor we used for Ron's springs, plus an angled one, plus two bar type. So we should be able to tag-team the springs.

Brandon, I've PM'd you my cell number. I plan to leave the bachelor pad 9ish so I should get there my 10. Is there a place off the T.P. exit I can grab a coffee?
