Going to try this stainless flex radiator hose out.


Considering going to aluminum exhaust from this point on.


Ordered my eyebrow mouldinga and my front bumper filler panel last night. She's coming together nicely. Just need more time in the day.

Cut the end tank out of the IC, and squared a 4" pipe to fit the edge of the tank instead of having this plate wit a pipe welded into the center of it. Should help with flow!

Progress slowed some, had a rough go of it with daily drivers the last two weeks. My 03 cummins shelled something in the trans Friday, Saturday we went on a 6 hour trip to the see the big zoo, lost 3-4 (gasp wut) in the 60e on my wife's avalanche. Drove 3 hours home in 2nd gear @4500 rpm. Wife stRted driving the tdi Jetta Monday and Tuesday the radiator exploded. So what and the hell! Spent today doing some osha approved activities involving on of my rollover Tahoe part outs.

Got a vasectomy Friday, tried to be productive in the house. Built my fuse block, rows of 6 is 12v switched, row of 2 is 12v constant. I have another set of fastronix relays to mount in the trunk for the fuel pumps. Bought a ton of real nice wire loom, going to try and keep the engine bay super clean. Pcm, fuses etc all under dash, car will also have cruise control going to mount the cruise module under the dash and hook it to the gas pedal, hopefully.

also, ordered an undercover innovations firewall shave kit, to clean things up.

Subscribing, I"m doing a '67 Camaro. Inner fenders are gone but it has bay bars.

What's the consensus on those intercoolers?

Well I sure felt the same, but the wife was going to have it done or me, and I've heard that women tend to gain weight when they have it done, and we can't have that now can we
