Thanks Robb! It only had about 450 on it with both kits. I used the NOS Launcher on it. I hear you on the taking apart crap. It does get old. I need to take my whole car apart to paint the door jams and such. But it should be the last time. Heading to the beach tomorrow!!! Hope you get your motor mounted and done!!!! Later

Maybe you said it, but are you putting the 588 in the camaro? Do you still have the nova?

I'm going to put a procharged small block in it. I sold that 588 to a friend of mine. I sold what was left of the nova after the crash.

Spraying 450, that sure is a kick in the guts!!!! I hear you, sick of taking the car apart, but atleast you know it all lines up right. Good to hear your ready to paint the door jams. Are you going with the red???

It must be warm if your heading to the beach, are you far from it???

I finished up my midplate last night, came up well!! Thanks Dennis.

catch ya.

Morning Dennis, hope you enjoyed your holiday!! Didnt touch the car all weekend either, waiting on new guide rollers for my mig.

Nice tribute, did think about you guys yesterday!!!

Hope to get something started this week. Jl gave me a link to a website to help with the torsional support. Pretty simple, I will run one. Why not.... just need to find some new headers first so I know where I can run it.

Found something for you to...... just another idea for the shoot mount. I like it as it is adjustable... same as your wing.



Hope this helps, catch ya.

Hey Robb. Thanks buddy had a great week!!! I tell you 9-11 is a very sad day for us. So many lifes lost for no reason. Sad. We(USA) need to get our heads out of our asses and start running this country like it is supposed to be.We haven't learned a thing from that day. We have become a very short minded arrogant nation that is to damn pc for our own good. Ok soap box over.. That mount looks good!! That gives me a very good idea of what I need Thank You!!!! I hope mine finds it way back to the chassis shop soon. I'm ready to start putting this heap together!!!! Later

Hey Dennis, how are you?? Man things are busy here for work, havent had much spare time for the car..... 1 week later and im still waiting for guide rollers!!!! What a dissapointmment..... aparently I will have them on monday!

Anyway have you got any updates... what are you making your windshield from??? Im going to buy mine from the guy on here, his are a good price compared to VFN.

I was just looking at your ebay, looking at headers.... this front swept twin turbo conversion came up for $600, and each turbo is capable of 350hp, thats not bad 700hp on 8pound for $600!! Do you know anyone who has run a conversion like this????

Hey what ever happened to Timmy P, cant wait to see the pics!!!

Anyway, catch ya.

Hey Robb. I got a lot of little things done over the past few days. Nothing big just stuff that needed to do. I'm going to by a sheet of 1/8 inch lexan Mr10 and just make my own since I cut mine so much. Its a pain but I have made them before. I've seen those turbo kits on ebay but I dont know much about them. I'd say look in the forced induction on here.I'd say Timmy is busy trying to get his car ready for SGMP next month. I can't really do much more till I get it to the chassis shop...sux!!!! Later
