Get those wagons loaded up and hit the trail to South Texas, it is still affordable and snow, what snow, we hit the 30's last week for one day and then back to the 50's and now back to normal, just love South Texas and did I tell you we live just south by miles of the awesome Hill Country that we go on some spirted cruises and I get to open up Sick HP to enjoy the boost

Thanks Steve. You guys's prayers mean a lot to me! I truly appreciate it!

Yep, I was/am still a hardcore wrencher whenever time permits..........

I was actually going to finish my car with the help of Oak and Joe in one week that I took off from work when had to go in for emergency surgeries.

Yeah Mike that Racetronix I bought was a piece of crap. Had to take it out and put in a LPE pump and she is all fine now.

I upgraded my complete fuel system to handle 750 HP

Thank you for all the help with the "Junker" project Jon!
WOW!! He lives!!

That was when I was only checking you and Oak out while you worked... Oak is right.. it was staged...but I did get a little dirty that night...

It was my pleasure to follow that up with another trip down to work on your beast... I think I still need to do some detailing, yes??
