Default GMMG Norway install IN PROGRESS!!!!

Cant get on a phone yet, but I found internet access Mike(EvilZ28NOS) and I landed in Oslo Norway today for a GMMG install. We will be upfitting a member of this boards GMMG Hotrod Edition Camaro with an EXCLUSIVE Phase V C5R 454, AFR heads, 90mm TB, Strange 12 bolt, subframe connectors, Wolfe 6 point, Corvette brakes and quite a few other options. Motor was dynoed in a car before we left the US and was making 590rwhp/610rwtq (on pump gas)through exhaust and full belts-accessories.....

Norway is GORGEOUS.. Lotsa snow capped mountains and beautiful "scenery" .... I will be shooting a video of the install along with MANY pictures... I will post when I return home.... We will be doing some "road testing" in one of the many 5 mile long tunnels they have over here. Should make for some good video footage!!!

Im sure "NEW" will chime in with his experience!!!

Stay tuned!!! See you guys in a week or so!!!

Here i am hanging out in the garage, prepping, and laying it all out waiting for the two GMMG guys to wake up......

We showed them what there is of night life around here yesterday, so i guess they are due to do some sleeping.. Its a small small place, nothing like anyone who hasnt been here can imagine, (but the norwegian blondes, with the blue eyes kill you anyways,)

He is right about one this they do have some nice blondes walking around and after the first day I hope you (NEW) understand we have this under total control. Well boys I am going to go outside and walk this little town at 1am because it is like 7pm in Atlanta and I can not sleep. Ranger (aka Cammin BeaSSt) has gone to bed or maybe he is with one of those blondes who knows NEW was nice enough to give us his DMAX that is all decked out to drive damn that thing does a nice burnout JK NEW

I am pretty sure there isnt a thing you guys could do to harm that truck, that havent been done before,,, besides that, that goes for the blondes too

Snowing much here now, and just about 40 miles from here there has been pouring down 3-4 feet of this stuff the last 24 hours. Friend of mine was up 6 this morning to bring his RMK Snowmobile up there, if you have a toy like that the winter aint that bad after all.
