The next challange is paint.

10-4 on meeting some of the cobra guys, can't wait. Not going to make it to San Marcos this time. I've been pushing to get this thing legal and my "to do" list has turned into the "must do" list.
I'm anxious to get it out on the street and see how it feels at speed. I've been checking nuts and bolts, much to my supprise I've found way too many loose?

That is my problem, I am getting ideas for a balance between street and track use. I was leaning towards a mild high reving 347 stroker with 3.27:1 gears out back. I was shooting for around 350 hp. Everyone I come across they have something radical which I am trying to avoid myself. God knows every time I start looking at catalogs and making parts list a simple 350hp 347 stroker turns into a 500+ hp pure track engine.
