a friend of mine in Reno called me and said the new SEMA News magazine has a nice little blurb on the Cuda..and the trend toward high buck street machines that can be driven..not just shown...

Got the Cuda running today at about 4PM..Alan and crew had worked until 2AM last night..and from 8 to 4PM today before the FAST engineers figured out we had been given the wrong software. Once we got the correct software it fired right off. Sounded real good..very crisp..then murphy paid us a visit..a coil took a dump..the crank and cam sensors started acting up. Got 2 of each ordered just in case. Had scheduled the dyno pull Friday at Young's Performance in Decatur, Ala., but we need to get 300 miles or so on the trans and rear before we put it thru the gruelling dyno test. Don't think we'll make it until Monday or so.

April PHR is out..I don't get mine early since I live in a rural area of Georgia. My phone rang off the hook all day. Coverage and photography is great from what I'm told. Can't wait to get my copy. 17 pages of coverage Johnson and Johnson edition..good for what ails ya

Bob -
Replied to you on the "other" board.
Congrats on that killer car.
Hope it runs well on the dyno for you.

Everyday i go out to the mailbox like a little kid hoping the april issue of PHR will be in there and when it's not i am truly sad. Something must be wrong with me.

Nope..you don't even need an aspirin or anything..Jon who works with me is more excited about it than I am..Doug Cooper flew down from New York
just to hear it run..Doug's going to go home and get his boys and come back when we dyno it in a few days..

Heck Bob

Let some of us fellow Georgia Boys in on your Dyno pull. Heck I'd drive over to Alabama give it a see. By the way, you going to World of Wheels at The World Congres center this weekend in Atlanta?

I guess so..David Ford who is the local promoter is a good friend..He won't take no for an answer. The Cuda won't be there but I'll take the Woodie I guess. I have to drive all the way to Alans to get it..drive all the way back over here..wait half a day to get it checked in..run back to Alans if we do the dyno pull..run all the way back over here to get the woodie..bla bla bla. I just don't like the whole indoor mentality. That white glove treatment to the top of your frame rail looking for a particle of dirt or dust and docking you a point..when the oil pan, exhaust, etc dragging the ground and the car isn't even driveable not costing a point is ridiculous in my narrow mind. But I'll be there some if the lord's willing and the creek don't rise. come up and slap me if you can

Damn, it must be a bitch being you, Poor ole Bob, man I hate while I am working, you have to do all this car stuff. I bet you even have to get someone to help you clean it too. Surely you are getting free tickets or something for all your troubles. Shame, shame, shame. If you be real good, you can come up here and help me put this deck on this cabin. It is only 40' in the air. Easy money.
