Since then i've just went on non busy days and they really didn't even look at the car or care. Idk if they would say anything about your cage or not though.

As far as the class and times, Kyle answered most of it. I would call up VMP and confirm anything else you need to know. They been helpful for all my questions in the past.

Dustin

I hear ya on that one... they didnt even really look over my car last time i was there on a friday night...


Dustin you going to the Pontiac's in the Park thing at VMP??

Dave... that is awesome man... last time I remember was right before I left for Iraq and you were still playing with ideas about your rebuild after your wall accident.

It looks like you put it together better then it was before!! Are you running a spool in the back?
