Yeah...that was the most insane weekend of my life. Alex knows what I am talking about because I saw him down there and I know he shot some pics of the car. The quality, and quantity of these cars there were absolutely amazing. I will have a bunch of pics we took up very soon, once my buddies can upload them. This is definitely I would reccomend to anyone that can make it next year. I will be going in October for the Endless summer show they have...I will post up about it when the time gets closer.

**On a good note, after two weeks of searching for why the car ran like crap we finally found the wires, and fuel pump were shot, as well as the carb being clogged up from the crap that settled in my gas tank over the winter. The car is running like a champ now, and just need to put the distributor back the together so the timing isnt locked down anymore. Anyway the new fuel pump (holley blue) is definitely FTW!**

Yeah I will be there! Gonna hopefully have Nick "The Hammer's" Grenada there too. Yeah Scott...what a PITA it was...and in the middle of it all we found my mechanical fuel pump was only pumping 2PSI...the spring inside was broken in 4 pieces.

yeah its insane...the amount of Fbodies was crazy! A twin Turbo SS Camaro (LSX car) was floating around all weekend...that was fun to watch. I also saw a single turbo WS6 (another LS car) get its butt handed to it by a Lightning right infront of our condo. Not to mention I had to show up a guido I kept calling "Tommy Toughnuts" that his Mustang wasnt that fast. He was trying to show off for this girl and he ended up making himself look like a fool when I let off before I got half way through second :lol:

Well that stumble was still there after the fuel pump install...it actually was worse! The wires were the main source of that problem.

Me and him had a long talk about that over the weekend. I dont think he wants to do it, however I wouldnt be surprised if within the next year or so you see him rolling around with a boosted 300 l6 though!

It's all good. I'll be glad to see the 460 being used, and the wife will be happy to see the hulk outa here! :mrgreen: Oh yeah, don't forget to ask yer pops what psi he was using to blast the interior parts. We are getting a new glass beading set up at work, and I'd love to do some AMX interior parts...8-)

I am going to try to do my best on timing, I still have to make a trip up to North Jersey with the car and trailer so maybe I can do it all in one day.

It was pretty awesome down there I had a blast even for just the one night I was there. I got pretty drunk @ the Hooters and that made for one awesome night.

Jon the pictures didn't come out to good I found out I cracked my Lens protector so everything after your car was fubared. I hope you didn't get any tickets!

I'll be down for October too.
