i’m good on parts, i’m just short on time, i still have to lift the motor enough to drop the subframe and pull and reseal the oilpan, wire and mount all the gauges, tires and breaks, and then i still need to break in the motor and get a tune. These are the thingd that worry me, but hopefully i’ll get my shit together this/next week.
no pressure here. Just hope it’s not snowing by then.
eric if you need help just let me know… i can prolly atleast start those gauges this weekend for ya
My axles are FUBR and 2 spherical bearings have play in them. So I’m running a little behind as I wait for parts to come in and resolve the issues I’m having with 1 shop.

thanks jay, i’ll give you a call
I’m not going anymore. I don’t feel like rushing to get everything done and have it break on the trip. Plus money is a factor right now. All my money is going into the car, I won’t have any for the trip.
Just finished putting the new motor in on Wednesday, started it up and now I’m just gonna grab a lawn chair, set it up in the driveway and listen to it run for a couple of hours.
hopefull justins car will be done tonight or tomorrow so we can start on the SHO.
