Going good but can only work maybe a few hours a night and some nights not at all. I cant let the wifey know what I am doing just telling her cleaning up stuff. Its just better like that don't have to hear the mouth as much She has her play money for her stuff and I have mine. Robert

Robert, congrats and good luck with your build. I see you're going with an A&A. I live in SoCal, so I gotta get a system that's CARB certified. I'm planning on an A&A sometime in March or April. Did you purchase directly from A&A or a vendor? I've sent a request on A&A's site, but haven't gotten a reply. I have a quote from TPSMAK but wonder if I'd get a better price direct from A&A? Thanks

Every once in a while, I get the feeling that it might be nice to have somebody around to share in trials and tribulations of life or maybe a kid to get as excited about my hobbies as me, and a tear comes to my eye, but...

This unless you are going to go crazy with the YSI and totally rebuild the small block out with forged parts in it. Robert

Heh, good times. You know, I read stories like this and I am kinda happy that I'm single and have no kids.

My a-pillar is still at Ortiz ....talked to them today and it is in the final sanding stages, so much for the 2 week turn around, but I'm excited to see how it turned out.

Hope the neck feels better, I feel your pain. 3 herniated discs for me. Putting my supercharger about killed me. Now I have a bathroom to gut and redo this month....ugh.

Got me a new pillar got it sanded down, also got the 3 pods cut out down to the size I want. A good friend of mine does a lot of F/glass work said he would mark them up for me and do the placement & work on them on Monday. Just going to let him do that then by thur r Friday take the pillar to the shop to let them put something on it.
