Lol when I started reading, I was thinking "Great another guy wasting my time about what he wants to do to his car" then I scrolled down and thought "I retract my previous statement."

Good luck man, and I got 4 letters for you: S. M. I. M!!

Whats up man. Glad to see this build on tuners. Hey I ordered my strokers pistons today.

Well whenever your able to make the trip to kzoo to check out the new shop and work on that tune alittle we are down..
 
Alright, i have a slight update, since i forgot to mention anything about it last night. It seems as tho our cars love seam sealer, its like at the factory the workers had to put an absurd amount of it in absurd places, so i have started with some removal of it to put in some nice lightweight coats of it. Everything helps right? All of the sound deadening has already been removed from the car as well as some un-needed metal brackets, for a loss of around 140 pounds.:hellyeah:

Thanks Allen! i should have money rolling in very soon, i now have enough check stubs to start ordering things like its nobodys business!
 
Alright, so after a 14 hour day of working on the car yesterday, it is getting close to being ready for primer. I also tore down my transfer case to inspect it, and found that my bearings are pretty tore up in there, so that needs a rebuild. Since i had just had decking done on my block i decided to throw my stock internals in to see if clearance would be an issue. it is. By the way i have hired grunts to do some of my dirty work.
