I was thinking the same/a similar thing. If I have the time I'd try to stop by and hang out with FF peeps. if groups organize G2G's I'd gladly make an appearance.

hey guys, just a quick update here on the car/life.

working for Apple was amazing but it's time to get back to my FoFo. I've got AllData now so I'm going to start planning out the wiring (i obviously didn't do it right the first time) and figure out how i'm gonna handle the radiator/coolant hosing.

btw, if anyone needs anything from AllData I can certainly screen cap it for you.

the plan is to figure out what i gotta do and try and finish up my baby while I'm at home for Christmas break. I've got 3 weeks so as long as i've got a clear plan I think it's totally possible to finish this up. and then make the truly epic trek out to Cali with my new hotness.

I'm ready to be done with this project and once it's finished I'll make sure i take it to meets so you guys can check it out. and if I finish my car I'll definitely be at FocusFest.
Hey, alright! I've been waiting all Summer to see the expected update

I remember, You were SOOOOO close to finishing, too! LOL, It was kinda like reading an episode of American Chopper", coming down to the final hours...so much DRAMA!lol.

Glad to see the ZXV6 is still gonna happen

hey jmiller, nice to see you're still following. and yeah it was dramatic, too bad i don't have a fab shop to just make it work. hopefully i'll be able to finish in the few weeks I'll have over winter break.

Hey I'm still waiting too lol. Remember I'm living my dream through you lol. Well I guess you get the nightmare part haha and I get to see the end results (one day haha)the dream. Keep at it. Don't let the little things get you down. It'll be worth it in the end due to all the hard work that you put into it, not some shop you paid to put that stuff in there for you. I'm glad to see that you still have that spark for it. That alone makes me happy
