Who is building your motor?

Uggh

Al Papitto. It will be worth the wait, I know, it just sucks that I have everything else ready to go. Waiting is disheartening.

Man your car is going to be awesome when it is done.

Quick question though...Are you going to box in the bumper support you cut out? Boxing it in would help get some of the support back, and give it a cleaner look. Just a thought.

No. It won't be seen once the bumper is on and will still offer plenty of support to the bumper. Initially, I debated just leaving it off all together.

great job so far but i do feel a little worried about you cutting up that bumper support. if you ever were in an ccident(and i hope you never are) and you caused it by some chance i wont what the insurance would say? your essentially take all the central support out of the front of your bumper. no matter where the car is hit in the front the reinforcement will bend immediately and easily.

btw it is made out of reinforced hardened steel.

And I am STILL waiting on my motor. Frustrating to say the least. It's been 3 months after I was told it would take 3 weeks. I'm about ready to make a 14 hour drive to Florida to pick it up, bring it home, and put it together myself. Ridiculous.



:lol: I told you 3 weeks meant at least 3 months...but his work is outstanding..:rockon:

BLK 03, how is your car coming along? :beer:

Motor will be shipped next week!!!:banana:

I made a video with all my down time, lol. Posted it in the pics/vids section but here it is.

It's a big file, so give Putfile a minute to load up.

The youtube link will be faster, but less quality.

ENJOY

Haha nice, you should post the vid in your original post, since it pretty much sums up every picture you posted, with descriptions Lol.

Very nice man, severely jealous. That's the exact kit I want (well almost, 61mm is overkill to me LOL i'd be happy with 57's any day of the week)

Very nice car.
