Thanks Paul. Believe me, I can't wait either. My hopes are that it can be done in time for my car's birthday, Feb. 13th.

I just took my car out for a test-drive after installing the new engine, AOD, Doug's Headers, 2 1/2" Magnaflow exhaust, limited-slip differential w/3.50 gears, subframe connectors, and traction bars. The car is scary powerful. Couldn't keep from breaking loose the tires. I've gotta do something about that. Can anyone here recommend a good street slick? :grin: :grin: :grin:
