I wonder how many human dyke formations my cat's life would be equivalent too.

I really shouldn't laugh so much at my own jokes.

Yah I know the Irx guys, but family/work/school/lack of problems with my 8 now has been taking up a lotta time so i havent done any cruises. I did get the craftsman powdercoat gun as wishful thinking for free time in the future tho.

I would expect that the car is a LOT less rigid. No longer has 50/50 balance. I [i]might[i/] even be heavier. (probably not, since the rear wont have all the safety reenforcement that modern cars do)

Though it does look pretty cool.

ya AF is the same way about the firewalls, except we cant even come near this forum, much less photobucket!! But that never stopped me , long as they dont find out how i advert it!

Any how, ya, i havent actually been out with the guys much either. Seems like we do **** all week long, but then the first time someone wants to call it a "get together" or a "cruise", i cant make it for some reason. Any way, here is pics, Harry's are on the car, mine on the floor next to dog.

Would you rather have Richard posting or working on building and setting up for manufacturing systems?

What is the use of kicking out a partially tested unit only to have to support a bunch of whining, impatient customers that rag on the system for not being fully tested. I wouldn't think of doing that and I would like to believe that Richard feels the same way.

Can't he call someone who is on this board give a quick verbal update and then that person could post for him. NO wait, that would be another 5 minutes he wasts not working. Get back to work Richard! what are you doing reading this?!?! And now your not allowed to use the bathroom, just use a mini porta-potty as your chair!

Don't think there is a dyno but it has been reported that peak will be a round 280hp.

there are some threads that answer your other questions . Bad form to discuss pros & cons of this SC vs others on this particular thread . I'll find some links for you ....


here's one
