So true! I planned,sourced, and budgeted once then saw a few cars where they have a larger bank roll than myself which made me want to blow out my budget!

Side note: Thought I found my donor car on Craigslist for $2500 but turned out to be an automatic car. Hope I find one by spring!

hell no, but there's working going on in my head garage, planning etc, looking at headers, cause I have none, Scott says the Hooker swap header fit the sub best, so..
I was looking at the headers on here ARG or something, but guys abandon his post,

so the plan is to get it in the shop, get the sub under it, get it on the lift, then look at welding in the rear, but it might go to Screaming Performance to get the G Link modified to sit at the lower ride and get welded in, then spray the underneath with epoxy bed liner, so I'm in the planning stage ideas... whoo hoo, ideas and spending money..

my car was initially POR'd and then painted with some semi-gloss epoxy, I think, but where I am with the car it's just the right time to hit it with the bed liner,
