Awsome film .......And since I was standing there to see it.
Makes it even better............
Also, I gave Al a deposit on the work I'm going to have done
in about 3 weeks, when the parts get there........Not quite as aggressive as you. But,
enough for an old guy

Hey Matt

It's finally time to build the beast
Way cool, good luck.

Ya know I'm really happy with my set up since I got impounded by the LAPD Remember these numbers?....340 RWHP/354RWTQ





I know my vararam, ported and polished T/B and borla, tuned by Doug will not be in the same zip code as the "Beast" so you know I'm thinkinn of the next plan. Tell Al and the crew hello from me

Congrats dude and I can't wait to see (and hear) the beast

Hey MadMatt... Sorry I missed you. I just had my car "impounded" at the good 'ole L.A.P.D last week. They set me up with Kooks Long tube headers/x-pipe/mid-pipes, a replaced catback, and a smaller supercharger pulley which amounted to 580HP

Yep... Al, Shawn, and the crew are a good bunch of fellas.

Hey Richard,

The pleasure also was mine meeting you and seeing your Vette.

That thing is a true BEAST and your profession is noble and you and your family should be congradulated for their efforts and keeping it going!

Hope to hang out and around again! See you at LAPD (The Impound Yard )

Thanks,Matt
