I'm heading to suds now! But will be cruising 31 tonight. Hope to see some action. I'm confident there will be some. I'll be cruising with a few stangs and TA's. Not to mention a few guys want to run a few of my buddy's. See everyone later!

Good luck to both of you!
She wants to help on the car but does not no much yet, so far she helps with small stuff and or just comes out and talks to me and watch.

Don't blame her for not wanting to get under the car during an engine pull with all sorts of fluids on the ground....


She wants to build a 57 chevy one day. Told her I wanted to put a blown BBC in it and she wants a stocker but is starting to budge

Out living room has a few car posters on the wall and the cabnets (sp?) in the kitchen have all my big diecast cars on top of them

She told me when I bout the house that the Z will be the only car in the garage SHe also has no problem with me building my new motor and drivetrain even after she found out how much it will cost.

I got lucky.

Yeah his name is John, I met him last night as well!
It's definentely an awesome car!

Here's a few pics of it on the interstate..... I was on my way to drop off some money to my engine builder when I first saw it, and then I met him last night on US31. He seemed like a pretty cool guy!

Couldn't tell yah man. I'm sure it did. If not, that nice piece of ace that came with ol' boy should have no problem "flagging" down some help.

Dave said your tuned turned out well. If it needs any tweeks, just let one of us know and we should be able to work it out for ya.

Right on, sounds good. I'm good in the head department. I've got a set of "Gunnar Specials" coming from Patriot. I'm sure someone would like to have those heads. Worse case scenario, we can take them over to the shop, clean them up. Maybe a customer will be in need. Hell, they may go well with my LQ9 shortblock I'm going to dump off here pretty soon.

Dave an I took the Yellow Z06 out to tune today. It runs "okay".

Hey guys, I'm in Terre haute and head up there every once in a while. After My friend gets gears and I get gears/cam we're gonna make a run up there to see whats out. We never really raced anybody last year because my car's not fast enough to hang up there. If I was spraying I could hold my own MAYBE but I only use it if I need to. How many guys actually cruise there? I'd like to meet new people beacuse me and my friend on here are the only "real" F-body guys here besides a few others. Everyone else just tosses shitty exhausts and a K&N on their car and call it fast.

I think most of the f-body and domestic crowd starts at SUDS and then makes a trip tp hooters/BW's/or somewhere like that. There is a Mustang CLub that hangs out on the super southside of Indy and make their way into Greenwood a couple times a weekend.

I know there should be some good times this summer. I'm not much of a street racer, but I'm always cool with hanging out and shootin' the ****.

Should have the car done in a couple weeks. I know there will be a large f-body group this summer.

Just post up when you guys are coming from out of town. Usually someone will be around and can direct you where to meet up.
