Yes, I'm still alive!!

Been working hard. Canada to Indiana. Still haven't seen Taner in Windsor, yet.

Car has the T-400 in there, with the JW scatter shield (good & legal for any 9 sec runs that might pop up )

Going over to put on the crossmember, convertor bolts, and get a game plan together for the shifter. Might even fire her up tonight.

Going together slowly. Car wont see many miles this year.

Looking for a driving job that keeps me home everyday. If you know of one, shoot me an email.

See everyone at Camaro Superfest, and at Stanton for the Z28 event.

Still have to put together the nitrous system.

Damn, you are slower than molasses on a cold day. You got your motor at least a month before I did and you're still in pieces. What kind of operation are you running over there? Get that kid of yours out there and put that crap together pronto!

It seems like whenever I get into it, something always comes up that I'll need. The crossmember from a 6 speed worked great. I didn't even have to elongate the hole, as some said I would have to. It was a plug and play. Braided lines are cut and installed. Bracket needs to be made for the big a$$ trans cooler, and wiring for the fan on the cooler. Alot of small stuff, but it's coming together.

Sorry Eric, this is taking longer than I expected. Chad, I'm going to measure for the driveshaft today. If it just needs to be shortened, then I'm going to take it to a place in Flint to get it done. I cant wait another month for Denny's to shorten it. In Flint, there is a 1 day turn around for shortening and balancing.

It wasn't the motor that held me up Steve, it was waiting over a month 1/2 for the dam tranny.

I'm seriously realizing how bad I need a garage of my own. It sucks having to do it at friends houses.

Hey man, happy birthday! You gonna be home Friday night/Saturday? I'm going to be in New Boston this weekend (thinking you might want to complete the tire transaction).

Good luck finding a driving job that gets you home every night. Get that beast running. Summer is short. We'll be shoveling snow in 5 months. I gotta go pick up an old vette on Long Island Sunday. Thats gonna suck but its for my best customer. Catch you on the flip flop man.

Taner, I go right down to EC Row to Central Ave, down to the left is our Windsor terminal. You'll see all the cars parked in the lot. There is a restarant across the street I go to every now & then. Once in awhile I get over to Walker to pick up a mini van. The times vary, usually early in the morning, around 7, or in the afternoon, around 3-4. Truck 741, redish orange. If you see me, give me a yell.

Nick, I'm not sure what kit I am going to be running. My initial plan is to go direct port TNT, but there have been some isues in getting the nozzles and such, so I'm not sure. I haven't spent any $$ on that yet, so I'm open. It almost seems easier to go with a double intank pump, and go with the power ring. I'm undecided.

Nova Man, email me your ##, or wherever you will be at. I'll be down by 7 mile & Van Dyke at 6:30 in the morning. I can throw them in the truck, and we could meet up in the area after I am finished loading, which would be around noon. Let me know if that works for you. If you are going to Joe's, he has my #, call me.

I called Saturday but there was no answer. We'll do it another time (I'll be out that way again sometime).

If you can't make it up there Pete, I'll let you know the next time I head up there. Harold's place is only a few miles out of the way when I head up to my parents house.

Hey, that'd be cool. I'll probably be going over there early in July, but we'll see what happens.
