The paint on the bike looks great. Enjoy your time with your son.

thanks for all your support guys. had to work most of the day today then went to the show for about 2 hrs the boy could'nt hardly walk away from the bike because everyone wanted to know everything about the bike.he said he feels like a star. don't think it could get any better than this! hope to get some time tomarrow to do a little parts shopping for the belair.

Wish I could be there but not flying up till Weds for my wedding on Saturday in Foley right out side of St. Cloud.

hope that goes well for you.those two words carry alot of weight.just be shure she is the one.:D just remember marrige is a give and take thing that always needs upkeep don't take it for granted.

It's always a good time. I'll probably make it out there again this year.

Sorry to hear you won't be out there Scott.

Spent the whole weekend in the House of Kolor booth and never saw you or your kiddo? Bike was even inside on Saturday and I never saw you guys by it? Nice bike, would have like to talk to you guys and give you a little surprise but I never saw you.

what the heck.we were in and out all weekend. how did we miss I don't know.we also had the belair out so we were kind of bouncing between the two and trying to see everthing possible in the show.can't even walk today because of it but it's all good found some great deals.would have liked to have met you in person.theres just to many things to see at that show.:wow:

Friday was absolutely gorgeous and busy as H E double hockey sticks. It was so busy I didn't even get a chance to walk around. I got a ride in a customer's '41 Ford pickup on Saturday but we only saw maybe a tenth of the show in an hour of cruising.

I packed up around 3:30 on Saturday for the flight home. Home in time for Father's Day :cheers:

Yeah E.Rod I know big words but we have been together 5 years now pretty strong! Also her whole family up the in MN loves me to death even though I am southeren as they come some say. I have been up there probaly 7 or 9 times in all different sessions and we are thinking/waiting for time to possibly move up there. I love the people,fresh air,all the land and her family is so so big compared to my family. It will be hard at first if we move not knowing my own group of people but hopefully will meet a bunch of great people that share my interst of cars. Thanks for the note and look forward to my trip to MN St. Cloud area and are little small honey moon to Dulth MN. Brandon

I didn't take very many pics since it was so busy.

internal wastegate = fail
making custom aluminum intake plates just to throw a stock 5.7 manifold on it = fail
I'm still undecided on that crank position sensor mount


Afterburn = win :yes:
