Should be nice seeing your project all done Eric. Maybe it will give you time to work on your vette and maybe see you at the track this year. Spring should be good this year. I see mightymike has his car running and almost finished. Redrocket is doing a little more to his car and maybe Ws6 store will get their car done.

Cool build, tons of good work, keep it up! (Get that Vette out though!)


I sold my Weld RT-S wheels, I'm sitting on jackstands now…I switched to E85 in the fall, drove about a mile before I figured out I needed to do more work…I redid my sump & lines. Earlier this year, I changed my intake tube & elbow, so a stock hood will fit. Now I'm working on some interior mods & getting ready to pull the 3.73s out & switch front/rear springs. By the time old man winter is gone & sunny weather hits, I'll have a solid tune in it & get the suspension dialed in.

I might be interested depending on timing. The local Pontiac club might be trying to get a dyno day going again this year as well.

Also…Wanting to get out and enjoy the scene again. Anyone interested in some meet ups at Twin Peaks or anywhere else? I know TP has a designated day for cruise nights all over the country, but don't think the local one promotes it.
