How is everyone?

Just wanted to pop in and see how everyone has been doing. I have been MIA due to some pretty severe personal problems, but hope to hop back in and see whats going on.

I am also trying to gather up some older members that seemed to have vanished with me.

Car wise for me, the birdie sits with a lower end knock for now. Got me a snazzy built trans for it, other than that, nothing else has changed.

Everyone keep your eyes open for a shortblock for me

I hardly post on TGO lately, but I did get me a job back in the Chicago-land area so I'm moving back in a couple weeks. Then hopefully I'll get some work done on my IROC next spring/summer.

Tim- Good to see you pop in. I believe there's a used GM crate short block on Chitown racing right now, if I remember right. They probably want crazy money for it, but wait long enough and you might be able to score it.

roll bar = race car i'm sure. You'll need a stronger trans than that T5 too I'm sure.
