Thanks to a few convincing members I've decided to switch to a powerglide and let this thing eat. No point of spending all this money if I can only use half of the power. Anyway here's a post for motor Monday.

Car is pretty much finished. I'm just waiting on trans cooler line, custom x pipe, rearend alignment and tune. Then it'll be ready to go. I'm guilty of losing interest of this car. But for good reason. I have a 3 year old who races BMX. He's actually really good at it. So good that I think he may be one of a kind. That has been taking up 90% of my free time. I work on the car when he naps. I also was involved in a accident with a very large buck that came through the window. The antlers got me in the face and did alot of internal damage that involves multiple surgeries from a plastic surgeon.

Cant wait to see it done, sorry to hear about your accident. Although I kinda want to know how that happened lol. I use to race BMX 5-6 years ago, traveled all over the mid west. Its a great sport and a great crowd to hang around!

Long story short. A large Buck ran right out of the woods and right in front of me. I hit him around 50 mph. He came through the window and his antlers got my face, neck and shoulder. Cop said he was a 16 possibly a 18 point. Looked like a damn small horse to me. But Im not a hunter.

Appreciate it bud. He's racing kids almost twice his size and age. I get more excited watching him than I do cars anymore. I wired the fan on the trans cooler and ran the hoses. Just waiting on the x pipe. Then its ready for alignment and tune.

For everyone who keeps asking. The Vette is finished. Im just waiting for a tune. Brian from Finish line Performance is stopping by Tuesday to put in a tune that'll allow it to start. Then its going to his shop.
