I would like to say those are words of a wise man, but prepping the underside of the body isn't my idea of fun. LOL Just kidding, your so right. Some day I hope to look back and say wow.

I haven't made much lately, but i'm hoping getting the engine will be the shot in the arm I need. The LS Fest will be here before I know it and it's going on it's own or on a trailer. LOL

I have a nice HP LS1 EFI system for sale. It could make itself right at home in your car
