update on progress
the alcohol kit is wired in (lots of shit) led's, progressive controller, remote controller, power block, 3 bar map and regulator
rewired the two step with a latching relay
under dash wiring has been fixed, previous owner was not a wiring guy, if it could be hacked he found a way to make it worse
pass head is on, waiting on copper coat and my pushrods, UPS can go f**k themselves
up next, put the gauge cluster back in, re assemble the dash, reinstall driver seat
and not go out of my mind

some do some dont, i know many many people who have been using cometics since they came out, copper coat them every time, have never had water seapage issues, and dont blow hg's, and these people range from low 8's to street cars
i have been having a lot of problems with ups lately, every time i get a package, they give me a delivery date, tracking says its on the truck for delivery on time, and it doesnt make it to me, i know the driver and she says she always delivers to me when she has something for me, so either she is lying (which i doubt), or i have no clue
this time the package mis sorted and routed to fresno instead of sacramento, its only a day longer but its a day longer my car wont run
I am also a little biased against ups because they screwed me on $600 to fix a set of heads i bought, insured for $3600, the box was dropped numerous times in transit, as in there were multipe holes in the box, every corner of the heads was smashed in
and to top it off it was labelled heavy (truck floor item) and it was on the top shelf of the truck, i wonder where it fell from
they denied my claim with no reason, even though the adjuster clearly said it would be covered
sorry for the rant, nothing against the mechanics because those trucks seem to run forever , but the shipping side of it has been sub par lately

At least the all nighter is for a good cause! I was expecting to see a post about writing a paper for school or something like that.
Be sure to update us on your times after the shootout.

Couple weeks ago, close friend of mine and I went out drinking.
We got home at 3am and went straight into the garage to swap out an H-pipe for a smog check that was overdue.
Stupid kids, lol...
