Where is the drool icon!!!!:hail: :thumbsup: :woot:

thanks guys........... :yes:

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :cheers:

WOW! looks really good!

This thing is outrageous man!

I gotta ask one question though (and I'm guessing you've been asking this 100 times before)... no question the build is awesome, and no question that the car was awesome in it's first iteration and it will be awesome in its second... but why start with a car like Mark's, and go from there? It would seem that it would have been a cheaper endeavor to start from scratch?

Not trying to be disrespectful... just plain curious as hell.

Keep up the good work!

Dan

LOL..He keeps asking himself that. Jody tends to get carried away.

a fair question, and I'd guess you're right on the cost factor. I did not intend to do most of the things I've done. I was only going to re-paint the car when I bought it. Then I had a new FAST efi in my shop, and I was unimpressed with the Electromotive setup, so no big deal, let's swap it. To get the harness out required dropping the trans down and removing most the under dash wiring, so why not strip it and do the paint right. Then, as the car is stripped I'm looking at a 402 twin turbo LS2 engine I have sitting on a stand, and start thinking "why not"...................

Do you see where this is going??!!!!!! :faint: Now I'm in full runaway mode, buying different wheels, changing the color since I'm not a huge fan of red anyway, completely powdercoating and re-painting everything on the car; replacing almost all the trim (even though it was in good condition) because it wasn't "perfect".

I did keep 95% of his suspension, and kept his trans, dash, and steering column........... :rofl: I'm not sure where I went wrong, but now thousands and thousands of dollars later, here I am. :yes:

Jody

Well Jody,

Ain't that how we all do it.

We start with a minor adjustment, taking a few parts off and from there it just is snowballing.

Not that many do it in a short time as you have. For most guys it is a multiyear deal.

One remarkable thing with this years Power Tour is that both you and Scott will drive your own cars. That must be a first. :lol: :thumbsup:


Jan

Ah... it all makes sense now! Seriously cool car man, keep it up.

Dan

It's hard to stop when you start changning and making things different and in some cases nicer. You want to make it as perfect as possible, and by the looks it's pretty darn close!! :thumbsup: Can't wait to see it on Power tour.
