No cobwebs...tons of dust!

We put a date of the 10th of this month to be ready. I'm crossing my fingers! As far as how it sounds....we'll have to wait becuase I am not even sure. The exhaust under the car hasn't change, though.

Hopefully the unveiling will be soon, but I have to send it to paint. I don't really want to drive around with a black hood.

Actually, I am going to run it like it is for a while. I have a heat extractor hood that should keep the temps down somewhat.
