Hey Ice..

Looks really nice man.... nice pictures~~~~

Well I'm in the midst of an engine build myself.. It should be here in the middle of December.... ~MOey Christmas~

I've been playing my Corvette program on X box so I can at least drive

Unless maybe I can coax the kids on the block to push me up and down the street!

~Plays MOzart~

regards,

Mo

I think that the supercharger guys have a little something brewing... Maybe not as exotic as an 88 mm or big thumper turbo setup, but there is some stuff going on.

I know I'm considering some new parts....

oh yeah, there's a jt trim on ebay right now.

Yea I hear ya, the petty stuff is numerous and everybit as important. Same stage of the game for me. My car/projects are on hiaetus(spelling?) Im putting a new floor with a drain in the shop. I spent the last 2 weeks diggin trenches with the backhoe and burying 4" tile pipe and crusher stone. The outside is nearly done, I hope to pour the concrete for the floor this weekend or monday. Once I have a clean, organized shop again I'll get back to my car. I'll be calling land and sea as soon as the concrete is dry!

Chris,

Those coolant hoses didn't come like that stock on the later LT1's did they?? how'd that go?

Also, where are you planning on putting your power steering resevoir? I think mine will end up under the upper radiator hose, but I'm hoping you've got a better idea.
