Having some mods done at Tony's 'vette shop tomorrow, but don't know how long it will take. If I get the car back in time, it sounds interesting.

Still a project, but definitely drivable. I have logged about 100 miles so far. We need to hook up and cruse sometime. If the weather is ok I will bring it to the show.

If I go I am letting the wife drive me in an airconditioned car.
It may or may not rain. Are you entering? Does it run as good as it's pieces?

"Does it run as good as it's pieces" Most definitely! Had it out the other week and a Mustang wanted to play and I only needed part throttle. The other day a CBR 600RR started to go for it so I used full throttle, which kept him from coming around. All his buddies where giving him shnit when we stopped. I don’t think he thought a car could do that. Tell you the truth I did not think my car could do that. It is way more car that what I originally planed.
I will not put my car in the show but I plan I driving it there. Hope to see you there. I checked the weather radar and it looks ok at least for a while.

Default I went.

Did not stay long, it was hot. Only took about 300 pictures. We left before your last post. One Friday when it cools off we will cruise over to to Orange and strap it to the Dyno and get some numbers!
