It sure would be fun to D.D. a C5...however, with me, that plan would go right out the window the first time it rained! I just wouldn't have the heart to take a 'vette out into the elements...

Thanks!

The only thing I always get worried about is that everything I know is self learned. And granted I can more then likely do the job without a problem, mentally I worry about being good enough to their standards. But doesn't hurt to try!

As long as you are confident in your ability, you should do just fine Brian's skills are all self learned so of course he has more to prove... but in the end it all works out for the best. Just go in there and show em what you got!

Damn are you serious! (I obviously haven't been watching the news ).

On the plus side I finally picked out and purchased a new cam for my upcoming project. Futral F7, should be able to put down ~400rwhp N/A and is great for a blower (reason why I picked it).
