Very nice progress you've got going on there. Are you doing 4-10's for work, or just cutting friday off?

woohoo. today was a great day. garage is 1/2 a floor and a driveway from being done but that didn't stop us from moving some stuff in there and start working.

we put up some temp lights, some plastic on the ceiling so we can blow some heat in there this winter, some tunes. moved the nova in there and mikes stang. there will be 3 lsx turbo projects in the garage. all stock ls motors for now. the fairmont is mid 9's and there is a good chance the other 2 will be in the 8's and that is before built motors go in the cars

we started taking apart the mustang today. it is going to be a stock 6.0 other than zo6 cam and good springs, pt88, glide with a brake, mini tub, big tires, strong rear, cage.

Uh oh, BIG mistake to move car in there and start working. The garage will never get anything else done to it now. I've seen many garage projects come to a halt when that happens.

Lookin good man!

Yeah, like how I wasn't going to work on anything until I got it organized.

You should see it now.

i hope that doesn't happen. i am seriously broke right now so it might end up sitting for awhile but i am not going to start puting money into the car stuff till i at least have a floor and driveway, some grass. all that good stuff. thats the good part about helping work on my buddies cars like that mustang. it isn't going to cost me anything but will still be a lot of fun.
