Default What's up!

Hi people, reports of my demise have been greatly exaggerated.

I'm working at a startup company downtown.

Things are going good, just a lot of hours.
When I get home turning the computer on is the last thing on my mind.

the car is coming along.
I told my tuner racing season is over, so to take his time.
I'm going to take care of some cosmetic issues while it's in there, as well as put at least a 4pt bar in it. So I can make more than one pass

Good luck with your company. Have your fabricator make up a 5 point bar to be NHRA legal. You need the sidebar on the driver's side. Willie

Good to hear you are still out there working to pay for your upgrades. Last I saw you were close to installing your beast.
on a 5 point rollbar - see if you can have a swing gate put in for you to get in and out of your car easily.
Take care and if you are in the area look me up.

Brian,

No inter-cooling? Meth? H2O injection?

That set-up looks bad-***

Uhhhhh... Everybody knows it takes 3 days for a resurrection!

If you take off Friday....and have a "good friday", starting from dead, you should have it resurrected by Sunday!

Hmmmmm.....I wonder if it would float like the Back to the Future Delorean?

the two holes in the discharge tube are for meth injection.

Keeps energy in the system, converts it to power

One of these days I'll total up the costs

roads are starting to freeze, so I told my builder to take his time.

I'll be getting some other stuff fixed while it's in the shop.
