So when do I get to turn a wrench on her?  I'll be in Westminster for Christmas and probablt for New Years if you want me to swap out the carb/ignition.  I've already started building your kit so it's ready whenever you are.

Very nice Shane.  I'd say that is my kind of downsizing. 

Im kinda kicking myself now for not grabbing more parts off the sx4's ive run across in junk yards.

I'll second that statement.

Maybe after the new years we can get together Gronk. Ive got alot of stuff going on too. Maybe we could do it when you come to pick up your cars...If we got time that is, if not I could run it down to ya after I get it registered....I cant wait to see what kind of difference you  upgrade makes.

It looks like my truck sold just in time too...I talked to the owner today to set up a time this week to get it and he said he got 4 or 5 calls on it since last week but luckily I was the first one to come up with cash....Thursday is the day I get to pick it up....I may even get to test out the 4x4 by the looks of the forecast.
