I'm ready for a little 129 "Tail of the Dragon" action, I'm thinking the car would be lot of fun on the twistys and the Sparco's will hold me down/in nicely!!!

we'll definately have to plan something, right now I'm going to the garage!!

Dont feel alone! I am up at around 4:30 and usually stay out in the garage until around 9:30 and by the time I take a shower spend some time with the misses it 11:00. From the time I leave work its a race to get to the garage after running kids to and fro, watching kids ball games, fixin food, getting up leaves, cleaning gutters, and all the various other duties I have and to throw a curve ball I now have to paint the golf cart, and put new carpet down on the pontoon. My goal is one item finished on the car everyday and sooner or later it will be done. It can be overwhelming at times!

At least I'm not in the same boat,

so, went I get a chance to sit at home and put up some pics, but I'm working on getting the subframe and the front suspension reinstalled,

Looking into buying a underdrive balancer, front and rear rotors,

waiting on the gas tank, Ricks, says sick employees and there behind, story of my life with aftermarket suppliers,

supposedly getting the rearend jig and the VA compressor drop shipped to the house!! we'll see if that happens,

Heres a tid bit of information I think you will find useful. The firewall grommet for the wiring harness to pass through just got easier. I was reading a post on here and seen where Summit sells a 2 piece setup. Its made by "seals it" and is reasonably priced considering. Type in "seals it grommet" and it will come up. I have attached a pic of it. See what you think.
