Doc -

Blue Angel is one-of-a-kind. Clean, crisp, tasteful. Awesome.

CamaroFemme · 04-09-2011, 07:58 AM

Is this clenching in my lower stomach normal?

It's an amazing vehicle, Doc!

Thank you one and all for your great feedback.

Looks like the weather is going to cooperate so as soon as I can get some good pics I'll post them up. Here's a couple shots of the weight of the stock exhaust manifold with cats, and both the stock engine mounts:

I don't know what the Bassani headers and cats weigh but I'll find out; the factory ones as you can see weigh 22 lbs 15.6 oz or basically 23 lbs... each. That's essentially 46 lbs of weight hanging on the engine. The Pfadt engine mounts weigh 3 lbs 12.8 oz for the pair so compared to the factory mounts which weigh 7 lbs 1.4 oz a pair, that's a savings of 3 lbs 4.6 oz. Not much but hey; every little bit adds up and counts.

Couple more things to do to the car on Tuesday and she'll be ready for the trip to Firebird on Thursday... gonna be great!

Oh, it all adds up. No doubt.

It'll be great seeing you in person. Looking forward to it.

It's funny. Without name tags I just find the car I'm looking for and wait for someone to show up...

Okay show time. Great weather and good lighting so I got some decent shots. I really liked the way the paint turned out.

That paint scheme absolutely rocks! Very nice theme you have there Doc!

ssump29 · 04-12-2011, 10:32 AM

Great job DOC. I say for the last little bit of paint mod you color match the rear diffuser and where it's that little strip that runs along the top do that in yellow and mannnnnn that would be sweet. Just a thought. lol

I'm running all day on Friday in the Pfadt event but that's over at 5:00 and I know the drag qualifying goes on until 9:00 so I may bop over there after my event is over and try a run or two if I can get in.
