I'm baaack

What a time the last few months have been.
Kids started swim camp back in June and went to Mexico for a week. It has been hard for me to get on-line. I bought my friends 88 Saleen Mustang since JL has refused to make one. Car is pretty sweet with only 35,000 miles on it. Had a 408 stroker in it but I didn't have the extra money so we put the original motor back in refreshed with a pretty aggressive port job to the heads and intakes. Non stock parts on it are 5 way Koni's, 31 spline Auburn rear, and World class tranny.






Of course, everything kind of went in the crapper after that. My Aunt developed a neuropathic disease and eventually died. Both of my Volvo's have been in and out of the shop for the past three weeks. When the temperature was up in the One teens my air conditioneer took a dump. Pool equipment breaking. Diecast collecting took a serious hit. Bought a couple of Greenlights at TRU but that has been about it.

Anyway, glad to be back in time to see you guys leave for the Fest. Nice to see that Carnutt is back

Nice to see you're back too, Greg! One of my HT favorites! Sorry to hear about your Aunt though.

Grenlights at TRU .... I keep hearing about them, but never see any.

Wow, that's weird; I was just asking myself about you yesterday morning Greg. I knew I hadn't seen you on here for a while. Welcome back.
