Its finally in the hole!
Today was the day! My dyno is finally in its final resting place 
Here are a few pictures of what transpired today, it all couldn't have been accomplished without the help of a few good freinds! Corvette0096 (Rich), TheToy (Tim) and Del who is on the F body forums. These guys went well beyond expectation in helping me out, and I can't begin to thank them enough! And not to mention having a very understanding and supportive woman in times of high stress!
Here I am guiding her into her pit.
Another shot before it went in.
Here I am working on one of the two PAU's (power absorbtion unit)
Heres my little sweetheart standing in front of the finished product
All that is left to do is to calibrate the PAU load cells and I am done and ready to play! Well not quite, I still have to wait for the concrete floor to cure for about 2 more weeks before any serious weight can be rolled onto the floor or any serious pulling on the embedded anchors

Hey Tom, Congrats. I am moving and probably won't even get to try it out. Best of luck with your business!!!!!!!
Hey Bobby, nice to see that you have come over to the corvette world. Now we need to get Mike, and I think that ride in your Z06 just about did the trick!
96Zride, your in luck, Tom is in Vancouver, right off I-5. It's an easy drive from Brem.
