Well it pretty much blows. They have to yank the tranny and send it back to Bowler. There is something wrong in the valve body. For the amount spent it had better be fixed and shipping back and forth paid for. Not what we were expecting. You try and get the best and crap still seems to happen. Hopefully this is a quick turnaround. I just want to drive !!!

Dang Bruce, I'm sorry to hear that... Hopefully it'll be right this time... Brandi's tranny is out of the car as well, Act wants pics of the clutch to make sure all is right, since Corey told them not only about the shift problems, but the build as well... He said they really jumped on board to insure it is right... The tranny will be gone through as well for the better synchros, steel shift forks, and most probably a new second gear... Time will tell...

Thanks !!

If it wasn't for all of you with your "wicked" projects, I think I'd lose my mind here. Amazing how many truly fast cars you have put together.

Appreciate all of your support too.

What the Eff.....

You realize how cool it's going to be to drive the SST for the first time? To say: "I'm done." ?

Most people take two years adding things piece by piece...a little bit at a time.

YOU.....you took two years (more now?) and parked the car to upgrade every possible thing you could as far as you could conceivably upgrade it...



I can't wait to read your post claiming you've finished and it's out on the roads. ..

B it will be all worth it in the end when you get to roll down the highway with the windows down and playing your favorite song with your little boy sitting in the passengers seat.
