I go back and look at pg.1 and can't believe its the same car. This car simply transformed! Awesome car and coverage. I know everyone involved is honored.
Just 1 thing Sam, I can't remember ever test driver the &quot;Roof Deuce&quot;, I know Jude's RG yenko camaro was fast! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

I went to the Hemmings site, found the phone number, and gave them a call. You can order as many copies as you want and don't have to buy a subscription if you don't want to. Took 3 days for them to get here. Just be sure to be really specific about which mag and which month you're ordering. The lady on the phone kept trying to send me Hemmings Classic Car.

Thanks guys! x-baldwin has me covered. I really like the coverage on this car and I hope to see it in person one day. But the site and magazines will have to do for now.

Keeping with the day-two theme, a couple guys asked about how I mounted the Mallory coil. I didn't want to drill any holes in the firewall so I used some existing holes for the wire gutter to attach this coil (and resistor).

<span style="font-size: 20pt"><span style="color: #3333FF">Started with a cardboard template to make sure I had a decent design and fit (would recommend taking own measurements as they may vary from car to car) .... </span></span>


<span style="font-size: 20pt"> <span style="color: #3333FF">...then had my talented friends at the fab shop make my mount (18 ga steel - I think)... </span></span>


<span style="font-size: 20pt"><span style="color: #3333FF">...dry run for fit. One of the challenges was keeping the TCS relay switch in the stock position and accomodating it behind the coil, so I designed the mount so the coil would be about an inch off of the firewall. This design also allowed me to easily bolt the coil and resistor to my new mount...</span></span>
