Practicing pulling wheelies with my new short wheel base camaro. Getting psyched to pick up the sheet metal, gonna trailer the hardware to Mike and bring it home as a roller.

No Rich Mike had it in the booth:( He told me about it though:faint: Can't wait to see it get those pics rolling.. It was exactly 11 hours each way I averaged about 68 to 70 mph the whole way. If you have access to a Garman gps its the sh!t..

Mario/Steve,

Its killing me more, Its my understanding that the paint issues are resolved and theres still a hood and deck lid to be painted and wet sanding the whole car . I can only hope that it will be done soon, its out of my control. Its been a long time.

Hopefully Wayne and myself will get some good news from Mike soon- Thanks Rich
