Now you know what I was laughing manically on the phone. I just got home and was in disbelief that it was still driving. lol

I thought you had drawn a picture of your facial expression until I looked closer

Yeah those are what is left of my rings =D

Another update... I should get pics up tonight.

...Brian Crower's sucks at drilling the cam alignment dowel in the right place...

After measuring it was about 30 degrees off... Anyway Kyle(DDS) the mad scientist, did some awesome drilling to compensate for this and put cams spot on now. Decided to upgrade my turbo to a 360 degree thrust bearing as well, that should be here Thrusday and then dyno friday.

Devon (Kyle's brother) has taken my wide body fenders, rear bumper and side skirts demanding that my car needs to match... but He forgot the front bumper... *laughs*
