Default Last minute

Well the car is almost together. We lost a throw out bearing the other day, Red at McLeod 1 day aired us a fixed style unit for the TKO. The tranny came out and now is back in, the exhaust is done, sounds mean and nasty. The engine after the rebuild was turned over and ran perfect from the first minute fired. We have to set ride height tomorrow, tune the engine, align it, the new e-brake system is done, and performs just awesome, supercharger is being put on (again) for the final time tomorrow and then the engine is retuned and given to me. Lot's to do with little time before the show. Ill have pictures tomorrow. It will go back to the shop on Monday for the final week of tuning and sorting then after that, its home. Ill be driving up to the show with Steve Brosco and his killer 69.

Thanks Jody, your cars are killer though.
Doesn't look like mine is going. Just could not get the fuel issues with the supercharger fixed in time. Just got home from the shop and they did what they could today. 13 hours on the car to no avail. And I don't have a trailer.
