WKD FIRE is going under the wrench!
I ordered my IOM Camaro on October 13th 2008. It came off the assembly line May 6th 2009, and from a turn of the ignition it was born...
 On May 20th 2009 it was delivered to t6he dealership at 2:45pm and was picked up at 6:15pm. Over the years I have met many of you in the mid atlantic area, and we have had some great times together. As I have gone along I have learned about my Camaro, and helped others along the way. Mod happy as I am, I have done mostly bolt-ons and suspension work to WKDFIRE. It has been a blast. Over the 5 year period, the power has gone up. May 20th WKDFIRE will be 5 years old. Many will say she looks new (thanks to the detail classes). My biggest goal is to install a cam. After researching and talking with many on here, as well as John from Broadview auto service, I have decided to do the ls3 conversion. The time is finally here!!!   Yes,. as you can tell, I am very excited. Now, the hard part...Be patient while the specialist do their thing.

B' you will see it sooner than later. I like the track time in your signature. I bet that was a fun run.

Also, one of the best things is it's only a 45 minute drive from the house to his shop.
