I've been fighting rust in the tank. The car sat for about a year with half a tank of fuel.. Lesson learned, new tank going in. And had room to install a moser cover I've been putting off doing.

I've been super busy but good things are happening. I've started protouringtexas.com to take all the guess work out of making abody more enjoyable. Follow us on Instagram @protouringtexas and Facebook search protouringtexas.com. I recently teamed up with Magnuson superchargers and Gibson exhaust to promote their hard work as well as mine. And pics..

It's considered a "Hotrod kit" charger, it sits back further on the manifold. Otherwise very similar to Camaro.

Thank you sir, I've always followed your car.. I've wanted boost forever lol. Overdrive cog stock front pulley is worth 10-11psi. I can always pulley down when I'm ready.

Ya, small world! The flush trim kit is awesome. I'll hook you up when your ready. It's been a crazy year so far. The car finally came together after years of work. I met so many awesome people on powertour and everything has grown from there. Can't wait to see what's next! I really want to do some crazy **** with the roadkill guys.
