Thanks again.

 

wheres the drool smiley

 

Glad to see you got it up and running and back on the road.Should be a liitle quicker with the auto.Congrat's.Look's great!

 

congrats man, its good to see you finally got the car back and running, auto ftw

 

Congrats! I bet it was great to fix anything that was bothering you with the other car and have it finished pretty quickly too. Looks great I am happy for you after all the stuff you went though you deserve it brother. By the way I still don't have my factory tach working it is really messing with me as that is the only thing left to do except tune on it etc... Drove mine for the first time on friday it feels like it is going to be a winner lol!

 

Damn. That is a nice setup.

 

Good to see you back!

 

great pictures, she looks good

 

Welcome back! Looking good and enjoy!

 

Welcome Back!

 

u built this new car before i finished my old one!

 

Awesome! Def one sick ride, back better than ever! And in more style

 

awesome David look forward to good results from the car!

 

Hey Dave, glad to hear it's driving.... what was the issue you were chasing?

I've been out of town and will be for a lil while longer I want a ride when I get back

Good luck, tell everyone I said what's up.

 

Looks good. Must be nice to have it all together again!

 

glad to see its going well,hope that chip-ins u got helped some too

 

Very nice. Your going to love the BS3 controlled 80E with the Rossler brake. Just let go of the button and steer. You planning on locking it up at the track?
Did you get the pan from Rossler? I haven't gotten my 80 back from Rossler yet with the new tricks done to it. He said he was having pans made. My biggest complaint to him was having to use the deep cast pan. Ate up lots of ground clearance.

 

Man, you work fast. You dont mess around, dude. Looks real nice. I love the paint.

Nice work

Eric

 

Congrats man. Good to see you back into the game. Can't wait to see some new track times out of that thing

 

Damn. Fuggin car is beautiful. Can't wait to see results!

I hope the 12 pack I gave you some cash for was put to good use
