Exactly. Glad someone gets it.

Learned a lot since we built the one I had. It's no slouch by any means. I just decided I wanted to build a stroked LS3. The rain is killing me on getting the car painted and at this point I don't expect it till April/May. Might as well do it now while I have the time on my hands.

That's like getting drinking advice from an alcoholic. (Dave)

Me being a former caroholic, I get it! Why not spend 5k more for 20 more hp. ha

5k! Thankfully I have Jeff and he knows what he's doing when it comes to building an LS. The Sand Rail he just finished is over the top and the motor is awesome. Thanks to him I am learning a ton (drinking from a fire hose) and saving a lot of $$.

Hopefully I will be able to start posting some engine build pictures soon.

That'd be like asking Todd for RE advice or to list your house for sale. Oh the horror!

I wouldn't even show up. You'd want me to do it for free.

Well if the service value is zero then the price should reflect that.

I finally got to look back through the entire thread. I can't wait to see the paint you chose! What's the end game for the '51 Chevy? I've always loved that style and now you've got me thinking about another build...after the camaro of coarse, but I would want to be able to haul the camaro with it.

The Lamborghini Silver is the color. IF the weather ever improves in California Jim will paint the car. It's been ready since Nov! As much as I would LOVE to have it home, I appreciate that Jim insists on doing things right.

I was offered far more than I paid for the '51, so I sold it. I still want one (that and a 72 K5 Blazer) and at some point I'll look for another one.

Bob, you forgot the comma....

I know you guys are used to painting cars outside in the driveway, couldn't you rent a big tent to get it out of the weather and lay some color on it?

Xoxo
