I saw you basically took you whole car apart and redid a lot of it, Lol. Thats awesome, I think you love this as much as I do.[/ QUOTE]

There are plenty of those guys out there willing to take your money. I like working with Kenny as he’s honest about his billing and does a nice job.

The original goal with my car was to build it in three / four phases. Then I got sick and we did just enough to get it a nice running driving cruise night car. We fought motor issues and after 4 years and thousands of dollars I said F-It and yanked the motor. That’s kinda when the “While Your Here” moment happened. So version 2.0 began.

Then Covid so I then decided to add version 3.0 into the build since it’s not like we can actually do anything.

And that’s how I’m where I am at and yes I had to pay to have my motor completely redone. Looking back it will be Crate Engines from GM ONLY as they come with an actual warranty.

This statement is always on my mind when I see so many nice builds & wonder is it better to get something spec built or a factory assembly via GM. While both can 'fail' (like any mechanical item), which is more apt to have an issue? My bank account doesn't cover doing it twice but the Connect & Cruise set-ups initial price tag seems to cover that possibility of doing so just for the buy-in.
