WAY too pricey there. beyond that im not too sure. might be better off to go to ATL and have a well known place up there do it. i find it hard to trust much craftsmanship coming from shops in columbus. nothing against you oultaw, havent seen or dealt with you yet so dont take offense to that!
went w/ wolf. They did a hell of a job thanks!

Oh, I forgot to mention that Jimmy at Columbus Custom Exhaust has put about 6 complete builds on the cover of Low Rider magazine and has rigs featured in several different issues of various 4x4 magazines. You could never tell by looking at his shop but yes, he is that good.

No, not the old airplane hangar that used to be Bill Heard's body shop that is right before Dolly Madison Bakery. (Or is Dolly still in business?) CCE is further down on Victory Dr. on the corner of S. Lumpkin on the right as you head toward Benning. Not far after the Racetrack gas station.

Got the fp switch wires, purge, and tps wire ran and tucked into loom. Carpet is in also, need a connector or two and a fuse and I should be complete. Oh, need a an to npt fitting and a little hose clamp (1/4") size so I can keep the nitrous line from falling down. You know the little circle ones that slide around the line and are held in place by a screw.

Well re-ran the nitrous line and almost got the interior stuff wired up. Going to clean up some of the ground wires since there seems to be so many. Also got the wires ran inside the car for the line lock while I was at it. Still need to get a 5 amp fuse and a one for the noids or a relay, I can't remember. Still need to get the an to npt fitting and exhaust clamp. I plan on cleaning up the wires under the hood when I do the power and ground also.

nothing against you oultaw, havent seen or dealt with you yet so dont take offense to that!

No offense takin, Im planning bringing a whole new world of performance to columbus GA. My time in teaxs has really spoiled me. Im use to seeing 1k+hp street cars battle it out. Im not dissing columbus I was born on FT benning lol, But the price to build a ls1 or lt1 in a 100 mile area is closing in on 5k. Im going to change that for one, for two i can provide the same detail work for way less. My overhead is low and I enjoy building cars. So when the official open date comes around ill be able to show customers the shop and some of my work.
