Default Eye Candy.....56K beware

So, this guy in brown shorts dropped off a pretty big box at my house today. It looked like this:

It had a bunch of smaller boxes inside. Some of them even had warning labels on them. Here's what they said:



Hehe...all joking aside. I got my order in from summit today. The car's going into the shop on Monday to get worked over from top to bottom. I'm providing Hot cam kit, timing set, Opti-II, high volume melling oil pump, and underdrive pullies.

What's that you say?? Pics? Well, okay then.








Should be a good summer. I love this car already.

My last order from Summit came with a hat. Looks better than the bright yellow Jegs gives out.

LOL...thanks everyone. I plan to have as much fun as possible.

That cracked me up Quantum...."look out for the rocks"!!!! The world's first rock-crawling 94 vette

DG's, that it is. Summit Opti-II, the LT4 hot cam kit seems to call for an Opti-II.

As for the wife, she's perfectly alright with me making the car faster. Has something to do with the kitchen remodel/sliding door/patio I'm getting done to the house.
