OH! sorry, I remember now, Jasper_Ash had the shipping issue.

I remember yours was kinda under the table, sucky when those go south but it's the risk you take.. deep down you wanted them purple anyway

yea, I kinda did just need a motivator to go ahead and get them done in purple. lol Im thinking purple to match first off and I think that SBC doesnt "pop" the way I want it to with the flat white. That purple thats in the engine bay will def set it off I think

Boosted, what front fender is that? It looks like a Duraflex line item.
And the CF looks good, keep it up.

Ah, spring installs, haha, I made my friend Mike do my first set and then CJ, Erik and Pete helped me install my coilovers when I got them.

I love install days, of course I'm capable of basically any and everything now so I can actually get my hands dirty and help out instead of being afraid to touch anything!

@alienvictim,
so what area should I attack first? Performance, suspension, etc? I've only seen a couple magazines where tuners talk about headers, CAI and exhaust, maybe that'd be a start.
Was your dad a mechanic or tuner himself? I can be patient in learning something, just don't want to make costly mistakes like buying the wrong things that don't do squat.
