That said.... can't wait to drive it. The entire time I've owned my car, my trans was "meh". It had grinds into 2nd and 3rd sometimes, I can't wait to use this thing now that it's sorted. Your engine is badass, you just did the suspension, and soon you'l have an awesome trans. All in all, it sucks that it broke down but big picture wise you're going to have an even better car. Get stoked!

It took a while to get the pictures off my phone and then get caught up on my subscribed threads! I typically update my thread after catching up on what everyone else has been up to. Helps get me in the mindset to type out the upcoming book.

Jeff,
First, let me say it was great to meet you.
Next, you're absolutely welcome. Sorry my trans grenaded an SNAFU'd my timeline for the week. That racecar should have been a bare tub 2 or 3 days earlier.
Joe and Peter are great guys and took great care of me. I owe those dudes a nice dinner if they come to PRI this year.
And absolutely post any pics you have. This thread is a place for sharing.

WHO'S READY FOR AN UPDATE?
