We are in the new shop, the wiring that was in the car was done in 2001-2002 so a lot of stuff has changed since then. Also it was hard to keep track of what was done and when if there was an issue since we when the car was campained there was not a lot of time to do it the best way.

Day 11
Fluids are here, head is on the car, and we are basically waiting for just a handful of things to wrap it up. (that’s what she said)

Love this car. I got a chance to get to know Gary pretty well when he would come by the shop I used to work at and we would chit chat. Got to see the car run at the Huntsville Dragstrip here a few years back. It was the first time it had been ran since it was retired and it still went 5.08's. iIt even had an old tune in lol. Glad to see it back in service

Last week of updates starts here!!
Goodies have arrived; first in the form of the best battery you can buy for a race car + Charger, courtesy of XS-Power batteries, which have always been there to help our race programs. Not only are we going to get the benefits from the more stable current, but this is a 30lbs weight loss (to offset Gary’s holiday weight increase )



We are also replacing some worn out clamps and O-rings …

Turbo came back last week and it was installed yesterday freshly rebuilt by the guys @ Precision

The blue one in the picture. Even someone as old as I am noticed it. It's in the lower right corner of the last picture. Looks like it might be a one piece front end car.

From the looks of it in that pic, its focused on the half cover lifted Cobalt and not the Supra so you guys are trying to show the Cobalt

My guess its this one but lets get the guessing game begin
