Nice to meet you to BJ. When I was out west I was part of lvfbody and it was a nice group always had help with problem, tools, extra hands etc. Thats what I would like to do in Pcola get a good group with nice rides and enjoy. Nice to have you on board. If I can get 10 or so people I might try to swing something more organized maybe even get a website going for pcola. Try to grow the scene alittle. Would help my engine builder too.
LVFbody huh? My wife's car came from an LVF body guy. Small world. Watch out for some clown named John Weeksover there, he has started a Gay F Body Group, not sure whatthat is about. Regardless, welcome to the Panhandle.

Yeh its sweet, just getting real anxious and working out all the kinks. And the usual 15 trips a day to the auto parts store for petty stuff. Just got back from shop almost done with the new electrical for twin walbros. Then got to reweld exhaust for turbo and thats it will be waiting on the engine which should be sometime next week. But still waiting on cam and ls2 lifter trays which will be wed. And ECU back for base tune. So moving on.. If anyone wants to help going back with engine next week or so let me know. Can always use hands.

anybody near buy got a valve spring tool I can borrow.. The one I bought from Thunder Racing lasted one install. It was aluminum and the 3/8 rachet hold stripped sucks for 100 bux youd think theyd make it a little tougher. Need to grab one for a day to install shims..

P'cola here as well but won't be home till after the first of the year. Hope to have the car rolling on it's own by mid february if I get the time and can get my head back in the states. Car's on jacks, cleaned up and covered waiting for me to get home(if my wife doesn't douche the garage first!!) Time to finish the plumbing, hook up a few wires and see how it sounds with the 6.0. I live about two miles north of BK off of Kingsfeild and Chemstrand.
Hey Dan, TJ get his rearend back together yet?

I didn't think he'd waste much time. I wish I had his time and money!! lol Don't we all!!!!!! Tell him if he gets really bored to ride by and feel free to work on my stuff while I'm gone. I'm sure that'll get a good reaction(like, ****, he doesn't work on it himself, wtf do I wanna finish it for him!)

TJ is a BAAAAAD man with his 3rd gen. I can only hope that mine holds up half as good as his does. Then again, my drivetrain consists primarily of things that used to be on TJ's ride............. except the rearend!! Dan I still hated to hear about the rear shelling on your Camaro. Hope you can get it back together for the cruise.
