LoL I thought you where joking.

I've had them for a few years. If I remember correctly I got them at HomeDepot. Laurie ran into the wall at the back of the garage once, so in an attempt to save the wall I bought those. In her defense, there wasn't much room for the truck and you had to get really close to the wall. Man was she pissed. LMAO

Thanks Chief. Lot going on and it can get kind of stressful. Yesterday, I was towing the car down to have the 4 bar installed and hit a brand new, still in the box, never used......DISHWASHER! Car in front of me hugged around it and I had nowhere to go. Jerking the wheel would have been a bad idea. I dropped an F Bomb, squared up on it best I could and that sucker exploded into about a billion parts and sent shrapnel everywhere. Imagine what hitting a shopping cart full of cardboard and tin cans would look like if you hit it at 65 MPH. I got lucky. Nothing more than a scuff mark on the front bumper of my truck. Others....not so much. Thankfully no one was hurt.

Jeff and I found an L76 drop out, which we completely tore down and rebuilt. Lost all the VVT stuff of course. Upgraded a few items and added a bigger CAM. Jeff estimates about 560-ish HP. Nothing to crazy and plenty of fun...for now.

Had the stock valve covers powder coated at the same time as the front sub. Figured it was worth looking at.

Those valve covers look good. You went with a wrinkle finish on the sub? If you use a bed liner for the undercoating, it's going to tie in real nice. We can discuss further over cocktails this weekend. :thumbsup:

NO! :lol: But because you asked.....I chose a T-56 for the build as it keeps the over all costs down. That and I really don't need anything bigger at the moment. Shipped it to DG Customz where it was rebuilt and upgraded. I gotta say...staying on budget isn't easy!!!

Picked up a set Wilwoods AERO6 calipers with the Nickle finish and 14" rotors for them to grab. Had to laugh a bit when these arrived as they are almost as big as the wheel that came off the car.

:D
