LOL, I'm thinking you're doing pretty well Mr. Magnetic ride.

Truck, trailer and car are in the driveway... I'll unload the car and take the truck and trailer to the car wash... The car got washed last night, but the truck and trailer need some attention...

The tires are in the trailer, the nitrous bottles are in the garage... It's too hot to leave them in the car... so, other than packing, I guess I'm pretty much ready to go....

Heading out Monday morning... Dallas, Memphis, and then Indy...

The difference is amazing... I'll give you my graphic description at the Fest... It's both a mental vision, and a tactile one...

I can't wait to get the front sway on and sling it around a few corners... Carefully of course...

I drove it into San Antonio tonight, visited with friends and then drove it home... In the morning, I'll drive it to the shop and then load it on the trailer... Next stop... Indy...

I am so pleased to hear you are satisfied with Brandie Pedderised.

I literally did it all a step at a time.

Started with Drop springs and sways.

Then XAs.

Then bushings and inserts.

Then rear supercars.

Then ZL1 sway bar.

Then front supercars.

All over the span of a two years. hahaha

To do all of them at once would have been better. I can't imagine the difference.

The way I did it was kinda like gaining or losing weight over time. You never really notice until you see that old pic.

This may surprise some but the biggest notice during all of that was the rear ZL1 sway bar. Once I got the electrical tape bushings off of course. lol I can't explain why, and maybe it's because I rode for nearly a week with the make shift bushing inserts, but it was a huge difference. Not sure why it would be. Unless that end link tab or the whole LCA moved THAT much?

That big Z bar makes a huge difference with all the other elements in place.

Good thing you are headed my way. There isn't a single Camaro in the host hotel parking lot :(

I'll get there as fast as I safely can... I am extremely happy with the suspension, and glad you will be in Indy to answer any questions or help with the dial in...

Thanks again for everything...

Robert it has been my pleasure to watch you build your dream car. That I am now a small part of it is even better.
