Thanks :) I have a billet grille that I'm thinking of installing. Depending how it looks once installed, I might put this one up for sale ;)

greenformula92 10-19-2014 01:17 PM

Lol. Lmk. I'd have to paint it but if the price is right I'm in. I have the cheap black plastic one. It doesn't look terrible but that grill is way nicer

Haha oh yes :nod: Just like old times! I'm going to order my Circle D converter soon. possibly this week ;) I think I'm gonna go with something in the 4200-4400rpm range. As it currently sits, I hope to break into the 12s. Can't have it being slower than my SATURN lol

DadsZ28 10-19-2014 02:04 PM

Sounds great Ron, only time I was down this year is when I saw ya. It will be fun hanging out with ya again keep me posted to your progress. By the way car looks sweet!

Thanks Brian :D

As for the rental, I think It will be a little while until the car is rental-worthy. I'm only shooting for 11.50s this season.

Blackbirdws6 10-19-2014 09:49 PM

Had to ask. I'm sure you will get this car going quick very soon.
