You and I are on the same page, Doug! Don't let the car go down for too long so we don't go broke or miss out on a good time!

See you there, Tony! That was fun last year and this year will be even better. I'm working out my left leg just so I'm ready to cruise!

Ha! I got it handled, Dave but thanks! Ironic that some of my most subtle work is my own car but there's plans afoot for some cool little visual elements so stay tuned.

Melanie and I will be at Columbus with the Rushforth Wheels display but the swap is going to be a little fresh for a 2600 mile shakedown cruise.

I just ordered this for you (a new shop warming gift) to replace whatever the hell thing you have that nice engine hanging from. I'll call ya when I receive it and you can come get it or I'll bring it over. Can't have pics of that kind of old skool stuff floating around the 'net!

LMAO! You're one of the good ones, Greg! You're right, that motor is way too pretty and Chris way too talented for that rusty old chain. You should bring it down in person and hang out with us for an evening!

I KNOW!!! LOL But that old nailhead blue/green would clash with the lighter blue on the car!
I've got a few cans of Pontiac Baby Blue I can send you though! It's pretty close to the right color actually! (c:]

I always thought that if I ever did an LSx swap in my Firebird I'd paint the valvecovers Pontiac Baby Blue and run a carb so
I could run a functional Ram Air aircleaner!

You going with a carb or FI? With a carb you could run a "Star Wars" style Buick air cleaner! Just a thought...

Can't wait to see it all together Jason!!
