To get the rear and front bumper painted plus a tune for full boost and race gas! I am sure there will be more but for now that is enough for me. I might be ready by the end of the year LOL Did you end up getting any bogarts?
So, I'm gonna have to get that in the car.Why do you have to send the car to Mich. to get the front and rear bumper painted? What happened? Sounds like you have enough to keep your hands full for a while.

Well I got my t/a back again yesterday after having a oil change and new battery put in. Go out today and the car won't start. Hook the jumper cables up, still won't start. Just clicks.
This ******* car is really starting to **** me the **** off.

I think I'm gonna hook the guages up this evening. I just have to move the two in the car to the new pod then run the junk for the trans temp guage.

I've never seen a LT1 like mine, not even on here. Yea, I see people get my power when they shoot the motor up w/ NoS. But i'm not doing that.
Side question:
are you able to get a battery w/ the plugs on top? (My Mustang and Oldmobile, and Marquis has top side plugs). The T/A has those side mounting plugs, which suck ***** to jump.

They are a biotch to jump sometimes. You can indeed get a battery with top posts, just a matter of measuring yours and going to the parts store and finding one that'll fit in your tray and your hold down, and have plenty of cold cranking amps. Then, you can either cut your cable ends off and put new ends on, or they sell adapters at Advance you can thread on your old cables.
Hope you boys all have your v-day gifts prepared.....
