almost man, almost. the cradle is out, the old motor is off, the old motor and new motor are sitting next to each other on stands, the new motor has all the stuff swapped over. i converted to the 95-97 optispark. the new motor is ready to go in the cradle and go back in the car. right now im just waiting for my headers to come back from getting ceramic coated. that should be next week (by friday). and if i can afford it im going to have them put a true dual hooker system on there, no cats, while they have it. then i should have it back. so im looking at about a week and a half from now. its been a long process but im doing my best to make stuff right the first time. and the engine bay itself is getting a well deserved detail job.

im thinking the best way to do this is ebay. ill let yall know when he sets up the auction. and he'll just set up like 10 of them, and whoever can just go on and buy them. or for the price he gave me he might want to sell me all 10, and let me just send them out. in that case i would need payment from everybody first.

SO EVERYONE WHO SERIOUSLY WANTS ONE. SEND ME A PM.

He can basically do whatever he can throw on the program that cuts the graphics/text on the plate.

I'm interested in a custom plate to sit on my Hotckits Strut tower brace. I bought a custom powercoated throttle plate that said Gary's trans am on it that pretty neat. Looks good, curious if its the same guy on E-bay? Also, Let us know if he wants to do custom plates a little longer than the throttle plate to fit the strut tower braces? Thanks
