Gus,



Sometimes you have to be really old skool and give them a call. Each one of these companies probably gets hundreds of emails per day from "dreamers."

Yeah, you'r right, of course. Until I make decent progress (and have the discretionary income in hand to fund it) I'm in that category of "Dreamer" too.

I'll start making some phone calls and saving my pennies. Thank you again for the imput.

btw: started reading the media coverage of your goat. Impressive.. you had a handle on this PT thing long ago. Kudo's!

Thanks Gus. My GTO is pretty pedestrian for this day and age, but given the fact that it was built more than 12 years ago...and had some pretty unique features for the time, it does work well.

Eric, Gus, et all,

Great progress, as usual. Sorry for being absent... been kind of crazy with growing the little human, work, etc... but, I was able to perform the first test drive and take project "Green Envy" to the gas station yesterday. I also unveiled it to my Dad for the first time. He teared up, which was the goal... ha, ha.. Below is a brief Youtube link of the start up, and backing out of the driveway. I still have some carb idle issues, alignment, and final polishing to do. But, it was awesome turning heads at the gas station. Which I wish I video'd too.. .because, when we pulled up, there were a few folks admiring a freshly washed yellow C7 Corvette Stingray. I ended that party. Ha, ha...

Hey Mike! Welcome back and thanks for the pics and great vid. What a joy that must have been! And to ruin the 'vette's party was icing on the cake. I'll be that smile is STILL on your face! Kudo's!

I was gone a lot longer than you while I dabbled in autox and my one track day with my MX, but cold weather is here and time to get crackin' on the 442. A road trip to Eric's before turkey day is in the works so I can pic his brain and take in all the he has done, and specifically, I need to know what he ordered for his chassis from RS and why. So many questions... so little time.

btw: I subscribed to your youtube channel so please don't hesitate to start documenting your Goat's outings. Would love to see/hear more of her. My 442 is so far from completion, I must live vicariously through you. LOL

Enjoy!!
Gus
