will do.

unfortunatly, i think I've ran out of time to have the car completed, or even worked on again till the first or second week in january,...I'll be tied up for this entire month,...the car is kept two hours away,..so during work week is impossible....and currently have no place to safely store it at moment. i have somereal surprises coming up with the car, and setup, so, its close but,...not exactly ready yet. I have pics of that but, waiting till the car is completed before i post those. Everything will be functional, just not sure how It's gonna look when out.

time will tell. thanks for following Joey.

....what i have left...

$130 in fuel fittings...change manifold, install injectors, splice in versafueler, finalize fuel install, , run power steering hoses,..add fluids......attach all hoses, .... what i don't like is my vacuum lines, hoses,...so I'm into changing all my fittings to hard lines,..or those new plastic style fittings. i dunno though yet, I've figured I've gone this far, might as well finish it off, as clean as possible. Gonna start it up and test on current vacuum setup though.


pics later-

Hey Jamie,

My bro had a balck Z06 and while it looked good when cleaned it was impossible to keep it that way. You could see every swirl mark, rock chip, dust, etc ...

The white w/ black accents is the best of both worlds. Enjoy your vacation and I can't wait to see more pictures.

Happy Holidays,
Tony

thanks Tony, I had a great time,...but It's been tough coming back to work though.

The white to me, when i daily drove it,...was something i cleaned every two to three days to keep it looking good. i think silver or light gold are the easiest I've come across. glad you dig the combo.

hope you have a great new year bro

Hey Jamie,

I know what you mean, Took off from Christmas Eve to 1/3/2011. Going back to work can be a grind.

Santa was good to me and I got lots of cool stuff including a video scope that lets me look inside engines and transmissions, etc ... Wife also gave me an IPAD along with a bunch of other stuff.

The next day we got a snow blizard that pretty much messed up the roads, etc ... for (3) days. We got about 12" but the winds were 40+ miles per hour.
