But everyone was okay and my plan to save money bringing two engines to Cris and bringing one back cost me $2800.00 I think everyone knows this by now but I'll say it again its a pleasure dealing with Cris !!! A great person to do buisness with you couldn't ask for a nicer person!!!


What's an old man like you going to do with 620 HP?!?!?


EEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Congrats Mario---glad to see progress being made. I think Todd may have been worried for a minute there about your 572 having more power than his 540. He already has some "Iron Works Cubic Inch Spray" on order--- Weld also ordered a case since 302 inches is bound to create some motor envy as well.

That would of been the case. But Cris talked me into sending it out and have it blueprinted. Plus a couple of other goodies

Mario- Thank you for delivering my LS engines .. It worked out for both of us.. you wanting the 572 & me wanting the LS7.. I just feel bad that the boys had an accident @ the end of their trip..

Look forward to doing some more business with you & thank you for the props..

Well I took on a new bodyman and its allowing me time to get back on my car. I started the final body panel fitting to get everthing as close as I can for Troy to start gapping the car. And let me tell you Troy has his work cut out for him. As I said a million times before, this aftermarket stuff is absolute garbage and I'll keep saying it until this car is done!!!! I'll have to order about two 55 gallon drums of gap spray from Ironworks just to get the back half of this car done!! Take a look at these pictures and you'll see what I mean . And keep in mind this is about a day and a half of work to just get these gaps this close.. Picture 4 the bottom of the door overlaps the quarter about a 1/8 inch FUUUUUNNNNNN!!!!!!!!

Don't worry touch Mario. My gaps were perfect and once I put some miles on it all the gaps seem to change a little. Glad to see we're back to work on it
