Hey man! I have checked up on this thread and your website from time to time and I don't really know all of the details, but the one thing I know is your one hell of a guy with one hell of a wife. I hope things turn around for you and everything works out. Good luck with everything and if I can find a way to help you out I will. *walks down to the corner store and buys a lottery ticket*

Inevitable Outcome, I have followed it from the start and applaud your determination and tenacity.
Everyone has a breaking point, yours happens to be much higher than 99% of the people in the world.

the most beautiful paperweight in existence.
and honestly **** all the people that say this was inevitable.
i applaud this project because he was following his dream, to go this far and not be able to finish is ******* heartbreaking.
I'm really sorry that this has made you hate the car and possibly the hobby in itself.

So you are basically saying... "**** BRIAN MP5T"
I think you miss the point of my post..
Inevitable as in NO MORE MONEY, or Blood From A Stone.
unlike what you are saying... "Sell Both Kidney to finish your car..."
You make no sense, it wasn't an insult.

People say that when she fires up the first time I will forget all about the pain. I doubt that will really happen but I do believe there will be a huge smile on my face when that day comes.

damn, cant upgrade. nothing broke. the downside...the stock pirellis cant hold for ****.
ran a 2.1 60, and did a 12.24@118.0
beat a shelby, and third gear was scary as i was spinning a bit in second, and third totally broke loose, but i rode it out. back end swung out 12- 18 inches or so...smoking. driver control, ftw. if i woulda backed out, the rear woulda whipped, and i might have been shopping for body panels.

Sexy head ....
No this isn't a **** thread 
but there are some sexy pictures in here just the same.
The DART cylinder heads finally arrived. I guess the waiting wasn't so bad because they are some of the very first batch of CNC'ed DART heads that have 72 CC combustion chambers. These heads flow 330 cfm from the factory and by the time Resnick finishes with them he expects that they will flow over 400 cfm. Resnick had these specifically built to easily handle our 8,000 rpm redline.
On top of these heads, I am told that the LSX block has been purchased and should arrive by the end of June (finally). :fingers-crossed:
Perfectly CNC'ed combustion chambers
Oooops, I think someone wanted a towel warning. I guess it is too late now

I am....this week anyways...
The shop and I are are working together on ways to get the driveline complete. I will also be doing some work for the shop that will go towards the project. By months end, and in time for a long planned local meet, the car will be home so that I can start the wiring and the painting of all unpainted metals. I will also start doing the interior. While I am doing that work, the shop will be building the engine.
How close we get before I have to 'pause' is still unknown but we are hoping that it is 'very' close.
