Thanks for the comments guys... I am pushing real hard along with the shop to have the car running by January 15th! Its going to take a serious amount of effort as we still need to fab the turbo kit, plumb brake lines, and plumb the entire fuel system. But I have faith in these guys and I am spending every bit of free time I get at the shop to get it done.

Trying to have it ready for the ALL GTO track event on January 20th!

Looks nice Mic. It's always fun when the car does the turn around, and is being put back together.

Yeah... thats for sure! I heard how well your car did... Congrats man.

I need a little background info. I know about Steve's setup that he just sold. Where does that break in order wise?

Steves was the first SRA GTO... Him and Chris helped me build mine in my garage! And the car is now in Tampa at a certain Transmission Shop.
