    NZ: I've got no choice on the NOS... in order to pull the numbers that I want to pull, the NOS is the cheapest and easiest way to go... turbo or supercharger would add about $2500+ more onto the budget... maybe in the future!!
    Thats all good MiKE, I fully understand mate.  ;)

    Doesn't matter what car someone owns they can only go as far as there pocket is deep.  8) Quote myself. :thumbs:  :D

    Maybe in the future, I like the open mind.  :grinyes:

    Looking good Mike  :thumbs:  Having had 2 cars done now in the last few years and hearing your story) I think that having to go back to the body shop is probably normal as much as you hate to. There seems to always be something overlooked. I also agree with heminut and that although I didn't make them push the car, I set the rev limiter at 1500 rpm when it went back to the shop!!!!!  The guy who owns the shop I trust but some of the painters?????????I hope they get everything worked out for you!!

    Mike, looking amazing!!!!  Can't wait to see it in person this upcoming weekend.  It's gonna be cool to see it all painted up now.   The last time I saw it, she was still in the body shop waiting for some more rust repair.
