After I read everything on this site about that mess and how everyone jumped in to help I was just amazed (huge understatement). I knew then that this was the place to join, good people and some of the best builders and best cars on the planet. Why would anyone pass that kind of group up? :cheers:

Cool another site referal from Camaro Performers.. I need to invoice Scott for that nickle now. lol

And yea, it is a great site filled with excellent people. :)

Thanks to my friends at Speed Tech I don't have to worry about modding my header on a painted car! They were kind enough to mock everything up at their shop and make the needed changes on the #1 primary where I was having steering shaft issues. These are the standard SBC 1-7/8" Stainless Works headers that totally clear a stock steering box...but don't clear a Unisteer rack. But from what Blake tells me, he has been working with SW and they now offer the right header for this combo!
Thanks again Blake, Paul, and crew! :cheers:

Tony, I thought you built a turbo motor? Are you going to run it without the turbos first? Just curious - thought it was weird that you were using standard headers...

No need to hire. Pretty sure watching the magic they do, and just taking photos for them would be payment ;).

Here's some pics of the body work on Karma. You can tell by the pics that there is a lot less body filler used than before.
