Kjkjr27's IOM Build [COTW 9/16/13]

[Wolfco13]

Wow, $8.00 for driving up on the scale! Not a bank breaker, but about 30% more than the high end of what seems reasonable, considering all that work she had to do.

It does say driver "off". I guess she's just quick to get that $8 from you.

That is good to know. Can you list all of what your weight reductions are to date. I would like to compare them to my list and I am interested in what future weight reductions you are planning.

Thank - you in advance for anymore info. you will be sharing.

Well I can't find it posted anywhere. So if I'm wrong just let me know. This young man is on this computer searching all the time 4 info. on these Camaros talking to so many people about suggestions. Personnel ideas what they think of his mods. The work he has had to do out doors tools he had to purchase. Not to mention the tight quarters he worked in once he had a garage to work in. The testing he has done cutting the weight off of it.

With out any more appraisel for a job well done so far. I nominate kjkjr27 for car of the week. Come on guys lets get the voting started.
