Sorry, busy. Lol

I think Sunday/Monday is dealing with the rig and set up, you’d have to check with the boss though. I’m down for whenever.

Fair enough. Let’s play it by ear. Looking forward to seeing you and Lulu.

Soooo.... while I've been stuck in here


The car has been at MuscleRodz with Mike. The goal was to have Mike knock out the bigger and more time consuming items and have it returned running and capable of being on the road. We all know that's not a simple task and that it's never a good idea to send a builder a car in boxes. Mike took it on and has done his best to complete the car the way I want it done and on the level he knows I am aiming for. Not easy, but it appears he's done a good job. Here's a little update and of course there will be more to come when the car arrives... tomorrow.


Gotta love those intake tubes made by Frank! I'll have more engine bay pics to post soon!!






This was a complex puzzle, but Mike got it done.

The spoiler looked better than expected! Of course, getting the door lights to line up with the grill takes longer than expected... which is expected.


Always a good sign.

Mike loading the car and headed for Las Vegas and SEMA

Thanks for looking

Congratulations man! I bet you aren't getting much sleep.

I predict tailpipes in no time.

Thank You. It’s not exactly where I want it to be, but that’s ok. Gives me time to refine my ideas. I am going to run a stock-ish interior for now with plans to have it redone later down the road. Hey... they’re never done.

Sounds nasty doesn’t it. Neighbors will love me and those early AM departures for cars and coffee. LoL
