1st test fit.......

went pretty uneventfully for just me doing it. I was worried about how it was going to fit on these stands but it really went in well. Heck, I didn't even bump the firewall sliding it in the hole(I know there's going to be some smart remarks about that!) Anyway, here's the pics of it finally in it's new home and I'm finally getting stoked!!

Depends upon your neighborhood covenants. . .

Congrats on the progress. Great feeling, eh?

it might be a problem if it was in the driveway but what's in my garage is my business. Besides, they'd have to get on to the family who'd kids park on the grass in front of their house before they get on to me!! Oh, and the motor is back out again. I think it's sold now and I've found a much better 6.0 motor that went 6.30's on a 150 shot the other night. This "might" put my Camaro in the 6.50 range that I'd like it to run in and not have to work it as hard. Beside's, I'll NEVER catch TJ..............
