Well, I'm very disappointed to say we probably won't be able to make it to the race in Florida this month. I don't care to elaborate on the matter just yet, but I'll just say that I hit a bit of a snag.

Hey, how has your back been feeling?

Don't worry about the car. Better to have it done right than rushed together. It'll have it's day!!

My neck/back are the same. The will never improve, so I have to live with it. Thanks for asking. Sorry to sound so negative, but that's the reality of it.

The guys at ERL are still assembling the engine. Apparently they had to do a bit more work than they thought they would in order to get the pistons to fit properly with the crank shaft. But, they will get it done. It's a matter of when.

I got the call. ERL says my short block is ready to be picked up. I'm driving to Indiana tomorrow (if the weather cooperates) to pick it up. Woo hoo!

T, I don't think your car will have any problems impressing anyone once it hits the track in Florida, simply amazing all the changes you have made!~ What is it like 3 times now?

How do you count changes? I prefer to think of it as "continuous improvements."

Oh WoW... those wheels are exactly what I want although I couldn't do 15's...

The shifter and everything else is a work of art.
