Its gonna be tough but id like to get my new Z28 going with the cage and TH350 before then, I can get the drivetrain going but getting the cage welded in will be tough and I doubt I can do any serious weight reduction by then, and I need some skinnies.

It will probably be a rush like usual, last year I got my forged motor in my T/A less than two weeks before Invasion...
