WEDDING!!! Yeah you better hurry up before May because time quickly diminishes "I do". Those are powerful words.

As for me, I am daydreaming of my car being back on the road. I will try this weekend to get the front suspension parts off my frame so I can either soda blast it or just wire wheel it. Then coat it with POR15 or etching primer and paint. Then comes the fuel & brake lines. Also, I want to paint under the body while it is up in the air.

and I almost forgot about body work. Now that will more than likely be in the dead of winter when it's real cold out. If I get a big enough bonus, I may order my C5 brake kit.

Mind you, all this could change before the weekend is official.

My car is driven almost daily but it's still a work in progress. This year,I've already added a complete Air Ride suspension set-up with Shockwave coilovers & four way independent control,along with a new custom exhaust system,Vintage Air Frontrunner,and Vintage Air a/c. Right now,I'm getting everything ready to install my new Arizen seats next week. In two weeks,I hope to drive the car down to Houston to have its new stainless exhaust bezels installed in the rocker panels. After the Goodguys event in October,I'm going to install some Edelbrock Performer RPM heads & intake,Carb Shop 670 Holley,and a new Lunati Voodoo hyd roller cam & Comp lifters on the car's SBC.
Future plans are to install a 93-95 LT5 cammer motor.
