If you're getting rid of the WS6 hood, how much do you want for it?

i believe dibbs are called all ready on the hood, but if you pm me there is a chance we can get you lined up for it once it comes off the car.

the turbo system is completely destroyed. i have taken george up on the offer to replace any parts they make for free and have shipped him the wreckage this week.

it will likely be a month or two before that is finished. and when i get that back i will pull the car off the road and install that along with the engine, trans, rear, roll bar, fuel system, bs3, bmr stuff, etc. etc.

mighymouse, you should use www.fquick.com instead of that site seriously though

unlimited photos, hotlinking, video hosting, and a mod journal so you can look back and see what you have done through out the build. even host up sound clips of the car

www.fquick.com/camarozach (the camaro has a more extensive mod journal)

sorry for the off topic.

btw GLAD YOU GOT THE FBODY, vettes rule, but not when youre makin over 600 hp. you GOTTA PAY TO PLAY with the vette, sure theres a few guys on the net goin 9's with em, but theres stuff theyd ont mention, like mr built 4l60 goin 9's..its a 3l60, hes got no OD, its like a th400 but not.

gl with the new car man!
