Should be about 6 weeks, knowing these guys.. So I will miss the first Division race, but it should look real nice for The MATS 2011... Heck, I don't even know what they are going to do.. I told them to SURPRISE ME... Chris..

I am not gonna make the first divisional either. Until we get a contract on a house I will probably sit them all out. Not sure how much the wife is gonna cost me buying a new house "I am not ashamed to confess I am ignorant of what I do not know." "It's never wrong to do the right thing"

I told him the colors and then have fun.. He calls and asks questions to get a feel of things as he progresses to make sure I am going to like it.. Chris..

The old headers were really small, long, and just plain ---- BAD.. Hey.. They were 20 years old, and were for my original 452" 906 head deal.. I'm personally not buying it, but we'll see.. Now off to Kenny Youngblood.. I'll post pics of the new headers.. Chris..

Went in the upper 8's and ran well, but it had a horrible paint, trying to match the back half.. I just couldn't take it anymore.. Al is right.. It will be totally new now, and the old reminders of the accident will be gone forever.. Except for that branch we kept that was stuck under the hood.. Chris..

My family is headed up there tomorrow. Guess they felt they didn't stimulate the economy enough at Christmas (MALL!!).

Especially alone.. He has done some real nice cars.. He did Phil Dion's, Chris Constanza (B1CUDA), All Bob Mazzolini's stuff, some of the SS/AH guys too.. He was doing a set of A/SA Max Wedge stuff there too. BTW.. They are 2 1/4" for 10"s and 2 3/8" for 20" 30" total tube length, and 5" Lemons Collectors.. Chris..
