Had a few updates from Corey.
many fire hazards and a lot of poor craftsmanship found on the car. So needless to say I am relieved that the car will be a much better quality now as for the motor, Crank, heads and block look good. the bearings are toast, the Cam is shit, pistons are no good, Rods are ok, but only rated to 600hp so those are coming out. Block is at the machine shop now. Corey and team are doing their best, i have full faith in them. Unfortunately it will be extremely close to Camaro5Fest before they will have a completion date. So it looks like I will be coming down to Indy again with the golf cart... and maaaaaybe the Gold Truck, if i feel she can make it..... unless..... MIRACLE |

Fire Hazards... We've had enough of those lately.
I sure hope that transmission is good too. But the Golf cart will be fun!!! |

Pete: you bet brother.... make sure the suspension is ok.... daily driver remember. ha
Doug: yes... when I get it back... it will be time to put it away for winter.. so it needs miles some time. haha Justin/Russ: dont be mad bros. Tejas doesnt look too bad on there... but you know me... I love Texas and yall... but I am a Michigan Boy. Russ I grant you the rights to use my idea to have your own state outline emblem ;-) |

This modification appears to have come from an idea that involved a few mixed beverages.

Kyle, rest assured Corey will have Detroit Muscle in good shape for you.
We were both kind of awed by some of the work. Some of it was top notch and some of it was... well.... WTF....
