I think the LT1 is a great motor but this thing needs and LS7 or LS9.
So, uh...who wants to donate one? :P

Tony---is it scheduled for this coming Monday (13th) to arrive? Garage looks great btw. It's like a parent expecting the new arrival of their kid--they paint the room and get ready for their new life---except this arrival is way more expensive--:lol: Happy for you man---this is great stuff---

Not talking from experience here but in the long run I think it will be cheaper.

Karma has most certainly cost more so far! But after college I'm sure Bryce will win! :willy: :lol:

I just got off the phone with the driver, what a great guy! He will be here Sunday...for sure he says! This has taken a little longer than it would have a couple years ago due to the economy (lack of cars being sold, ect.). It takes a few extra days to fill the trailers with cars as they move around the country. Years ago they would have done a trip like this in a few days, these days they say it could take 10-14 days. There just aren't as many cars needing moved around anymore....it's all understandable. :yes:

FWIW, he said that the car is flawless and the color choice is perfect for the car! I'm more than excited! Is it Christmas yet!? :willy: :lol: :cheers:

So...who's coming over on Sunday? :captain: :lateral:

As cool/fun as a LS motor would be, it's not going to happen. The members here as well as our sponsors have done more than enough! WAY beyond what we ever could have dreamed! And for that we are forever thankful!

At this point I want to get it put together and share it with as many of you as I can! Trust me when I say it was a group effort that saved our car/dream with Pete being the ring leader and that will never be forgotten! :lateral:

With that said, I do agree that a newer LS motor would be sweet and balance the car better in both design and performance...I will head down that path one day....just not any time soon! :cheers:

Any chance this car will be at RTTC?

I'm in Kentucky right now, heading to Cali then be back home Friday night.
I won't be able to be there Sunday due to a Christmas party. I'll come over Monday after work.

He just said afternoon. I will know more Saturday or most likely Sunday morning when he actually knows how far out he is at that point.

^^What Wayne said. I bet you're not going to be getting much sleep until Karma gets there!

KPC67 12-10-2010 04:22 PM

Well since nobody has posted on your thread today Tony I figured I would take this opportunity to say WHEN WILL IT BE HOME???:willy:
Can't wait for you to have it back, you deserve it.

awr68 12-10-2010 07:50 PM

Thanks Kevin!
It will be here Sunday afternoon. :willy: :D

:lol: Make sure Jen get's pictures of the look on your face as it comes off the truck. I want to see that look.

I'm betting you cry. :rofl:

Steve68 12-11-2010 06:32 AM

Whoo Hooo!!!!! for Sunday!!!!

I should be at PRI getting my parts from Frank!! but I got other stuff to do, damn!!


I'm happy for you!!!!!

tones2SS 12-11-2010 09:54 AM

One more day!!:unibrow: :cheers:

Nova-Mann 12-11-2010 10:29 AM

I remember when----------
 
Tony, I sent you a p.m. I remember when we met at the church project and where your car was at that time. You motivated me to not give up on my project, which just moved to my new (and not quite done) shop after sitting for 20+ years. Life has a way of keeping us from fulfilling our dreams, but there are those people that can come along and lift us up so we can have a new perspective on things. You survived some pretty hard knocks, and I would love to share tomorrows moment with you and Jennifer. I'd like to thank the friends that made this moment possible. Selfless giving makes life worth living for all of us.:woot: :D :thumbsup:

Rybar 12-11-2010 10:47 AM

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!! :lol:

waynieZ 12-11-2010 12:47 PM

Geting close buddy!!!! Remember paper bag in your back pocket incase you hyper ventilate from seeing it for the first time. A batery with jumper cables so Jen can shock your heart back into rythm when it beats too fast.lol I wish I could see your face when they open the door. Enjoy !

awr68 12-11-2010 02:37 PM

Thanks guys! Really!
I got a call today from the driver and he said he should be here right around noon....tomorrow! :woot:

KPC67 12-11-2010 02:51 PM

:dance: Great news man, will be checking in on you tomorrow!

You'll have to change your avatar now. I hope you have a lot of room on the camera card. Get the batteries charged. Oh, and the way it's raining here, have lots of towels ready!

awr68 12-11-2010 03:26 PM

Ok, off to a Christmas Party...that should pass some time! :willy:

Musclerodz 12-11-2010 08:09 PM

You did tell everyone your driveway is uphill didn't you?:_paranoid

ArisESQ 12-11-2010 11:37 PM

this entire thread is really amazing. the fact that a group of people who may or may not have ever even known each other if not for the forum came together to make this happen blows me away. i really can't wait to see pics of the car's arrival.

:woot:

Would it be close to accurate to assume that you're going to get about as much sleep as a kid on Christmas eve?

Matt

Steve68 12-12-2010 05:12 AM
