man you have come along way with that car. I'm finally starting to make mine fast this weekend. I was wondering if you have an idea of when you and the crew plan on heading down to the shootout, I'd like to head out with you guys if that's possible.

Your car looks absolutely pristine. Hope to see it when you get a date for me for the tuning of my Firehawk. Always liked the look of those style mags growing up. Nice touch, Larry.

The car has come along way, and you did quite a good job. Everything looks professional and shows you take a lot of pride in your work.. I just wish I had that much ambition.. Gotta ask though, how did you get the holes in the seats for the harness??

The seats have harness slots from Corbeau and an interior shop local did the mods.

thanks you very much

The car is not perfect, but I try very hard to make it and keep it looking this way.

I'm prepping for the LTXShootout this weekend.

plug change
oil/filter change
wiping down the entire underside
waxing the exterior
wiping, polishing anything under the hood
wipe down inside

so basically detailing the car instead of much mechanical and testing as I like to look real good going fast
