I think the last time he was trapped at Centerfolds or something like that. They could get all of your money there and you could not even get gas or get to have coffee and waffle at Waffle House

that was like a 45 dollar night including ihop.
never had any idea that 1 table dance could be so cost-effective.
btw, no more travel if i can land this job in S.C.

Put the 7mm spacers on the front.
I need to roll the passenger side rear fender a bit more and the wheels will be done.
Then it is on to the engine swap.

948
We need a "What have you done to your 948 today" thread....
Got my custom strut bar fabbed and mounted.....
Got around to welding my custom strut bar attachments. I made them from 1/4" thick 4140 Chromo steel, about 4 times stronger than the thin sheet metal ones that bend under the sheer force. I also used a Hollow 7/8" 6061 alloy rod and tapped each side Left and Right hand so the pre-load is set with a turn of the wrist with matching lock-nuts. As you can see there is a solid 1" clearance on the LS1 intake. So The V8 swap kit with the custom X-member I make would have exactly 0.50" clearance

The aftermarket flat was 0.18" thick stamped steel.The ones I looked at were bent due to the forces exerted on them at the bolt-downs. I'm using 0.25" Chromoly and it's not going anywhere. I'll sell this set later only when I get my billet ones done.

Ordered a new radiator thermoswitch that will hopefully resolve my S2 temp issues, and finally figured out why my sunroof wouldn't open as far as it should. Switch between the visors wasn't being pushed the whole way up.

Finally got the bellhousing off (what a PITA) Pressure plate came off no problem and the rubber center was toast. Waiting on parts from Paragon and then she will go back together.

My older boys are now in 2nd and 4th grade. For the last two years, they have walked right across the street in the mornings to Matt's house. Matt is in 3rd grade. Matt's mom(Bridgette) or dad(Chris) would drive the three of them to school. My wife or I would pick them up after school.
Saturday night Bridgette was killed in a car crash.
Chris is not doing very well with it so this afternoon I dragged him out of the house and took him on a long drive with the top down. The weather was perfect, the roads were clear. He enjoyed the ride.
I think it was the best use of my car ever!
