Default Leaving FOR The The Install Tonight!

Well, I have finally made it to that special day, the day that I depart for the Sunshine state to do my install. It is truly a day that I have been waiting for sometime and to me it is Christmas all over!

Tomorrow we will be tearing the car apart and Saturday installing the new cam, heads, and much much more.

Monday we will be DYNO Tuning the car at MIKE NORRIS and I can't wait to see what the results are! I will be sure to post them when things are done.

Micah

Hey Micah...
...if my vettes arent torn apart I will prolly see you..

BlackSheep95 is getting new brakes this week...

StuzVette is getting a new Hazard switch installed...
...and I will most likely hookup my sequential blinkers again...

and the maggie could use another polish...

Stangkiller is probably going to need some help to get all of this done...

Chris..if you want to use the kwiklift for the gHL install let me know...
StuzVette can move along the side...and BlackSheep95 really doesnt have a say in the matter

just call me...

Thanks for the offer on the lift Stu, but i have to pull the wheels off anyways for the lowering, so i'm just going to throw it up in my garage...not to mention it's actually some what clean now!!!

And as for help, yeah i'm sure i can use all the help i can get. But, i'm excited on the swap, as long as there's a few extra hands, i won't get bored/tired, and we *shouldn't* have a problem getting it all done in two days....IF not, that's what Sunday is for.

Micah, I can sense the vibes from your excitement from here!
My mods start this weekend too; at D&C, so I can appreciate your feelings!
(and hey,Stu, if your passing by my disemboweled car at D&C please stop and give it a blessing!)

It took me a while to align my BB Bullets too! I have heard the aligning always takes the longest. But now they are straight.. and welded!
