Yep that's a bummer, but sounds like a good opportunity for Mike! I gotta call and see if Justin will still help me out

Tune from Kory Willis is next on the list.

Also, first fill up after head gaskets and new mods, 20.2 mpg hand calc. That's about a 2 mpg increase, and includes the 5 passes at the track. Not bad!

Headed to the body shop in the morning to have them get started on paint. Taking it down a few pieces at a time so they can squeeze it in between their collision jobs.

It's an awesome party house, especially when the weather is nice

I had them quote me normal gloss black, but I'm going to see when I drop it off if there's any difference to have them do Hot Rod Black instead.
