Okay before I release an official thread, it seems no one is opposed to 9/26/2009 as the date. Several of you have been kind enough to offer your space for us to use. Can we agree on one location guys, doesn't matter to me at all. Just need to get it understood before starting the official thread.

I would like to try the anti-venom mod and see if it works well with my stock shifter.

If ya'll need a place to work on, I can offer my my house/garage as well, and some ice-cold brews
Okay all you guys, who would be willing on 9/26? Just trying to see who is available so we can make an official thread and give everyone a few weeks notice. Thanks guys!

P.S. If all else fails I will just volunteer Toque's place LMAO.

I vote for 73vettebobby... he got me with LIFT. Could redo my exhaust piping a little bit and reroute the o2 lines as well while standing. Also could put this wideband in a lot easier with a lift.

He's got the space for lots of cars, he's got the lift.

Hey if he agrees, then no problem at all with me. It's his spot though, so we gotta make sure he has the time and what not available. Dangerz, of course we can schedule it after CNC! I wouldn't be up early enough to go anyway so that gives me some time to sleep in before making it to Plano.

Ninja Edit: Just kidding Toque, I got a 1-car garage and parking is terrible enough at my apt as it is LMAO! That's scary we posted at the exact same time though.

LOL. All we need is 4 stands, lift and place it down. We all know that most of the simple mods it takes more time to jack the vette up.
