Well.The car is up an running,Driving.This morning car would not start.Lucky we had Mike Norris here.He quickly found the problem,Wrong Cam Gear.I called a good Friend Dave Hosley from Superior Chevy in K.C.He opened up for us today and got us the right cam gear.While I drove to K.C. and Back Mike and Kevin got the motor all tore down and had the motor up and running with in a few hour's of our return W/the correct cam gear.

Project update.Well Albert is all loaded up a headed to vegas.We were able to finish everything but the headliner.Could not find anyone local that could work with our time line so I guess we will look into that after SEMA.Albert & Kevin took the car out for about a 20 minute shake down.Everything worked will well.I hope the set up I put into the car will be close enough to work well at OPTIMA.Not bad for a 6 week total build.9weeks if you include the paint and body work.Albert was great to work with & super easy to please.We might have been able to finish sooner if the motor would have showed up all togather instead of in pieces and some those missing.But now I am a Blower Expert.Photo's to follow soon.

Wow what a quick build! Looking fwd to seeing this one.

And who needs a headliner? Optima is full of race cars now anyway.
