I'm going to be going up there to work on getting it out of Dan's garage on Saturday and I'm sure some other people will be there. If you want a ride let me know.

Have you even started the engine while it is outside the car? I wouldn't want to prep the car and find out the engine is a wreck. Happened to the Supra the guys at warehouse were building.

No reason to expect engine failure, and it's literally a 30 minute job to get it back out of the engine bay, so in or out, it dieing would be just as detrimental to the build.

Eric def try and make it up Saturday!

Damn, Danbury? that means I'd be 20 minutes away from it when I'm home from college. I wouldn't mind lending a hand at some point if you needed it! Great project btw.

my car has the best security system ever!. fuel cut of switch... but if anone knows about 240's they will rip the foot cover and un hook it... as well as a battery breker switch. but again if u know cars u can follow the wires and flip it... oh oh ... i got it... ill let the air out my tires. who will take a car with flat tires... unless he has a pump... ok a quick release steering wheel... but what if he has one.... F*CK IT ill sleep in my hatch!

this rant has no point ive relised.....good luck with the build. ill see you on the strip if im ready in time.

Ummm thanks for the random spam I guess. And I doubt you'll see us on the strip as this car is built to hug corners not destroy camaros.
