I am shocked :)

I know a place just of the road... There's some shitty wedge parked out back.

They actually thought about it and then upper management said no because the place I'd park it is where they put snow in the winter.

couple things have been fighting Matt getting this guy back rolling.


we had to pull the motor out again and use the porta ram to open up the engine mounts- something tweaked 1/2" when we welded it.

same with trans tail mount, got all wonky
