Thanks for the good wishes all, needless to say this has been a week full of anticipation hoping to get some seat time before tomorrow morning! I'm thankful to have had enough time to seat the rings the way I wanted
I told the doctors that my bone donor better have had an ASE Certification (or at the very least a Masters Degree)......... I dont want any old Ford DNA in me ya know!
Here's to "manana a las siete en la manana" as we say in Cabo!

"ONLY" and "400 hp" shouldn't be used in the same sentence! it's a lot of power!! "only 100 hp" can be used in a sentence

you're just trying to make me feel better with my little 355
I say "only 400 hp" because with all the money I've got in this bad boy you would think I had a LPE big block with twin turbos

I had to have had the MOST expensive 11 second car around! For the $ that was in my former car...forget it! I don't want to go there hehe. But it was fun.
We all have "woulda, shoulda, coulda" stories. I guess that's what makes it fun...trying something different.
