    Thanks Jolly. I think this year is pretty much thrown in the bag. Fortunately there are a few others who have some great spotting skills that will be there!
    Zeus, this trimming will not even include the wheel wells. I am thinking there will be no cladding below the turn signal lights!
    Is it to early for me to start looking forward to next year?

    Dang! Sorry to hear that you will be sitting this one out, but I am glad your spirit & attitude are still positive. I can't wait to see what your VX ends up looking like! See you next year (at the latest).
    The only thing we have to fear is fear itself... and zombies.

    Seriously though you could drive mine up and back and I will meet you there. But as of now looks like i probably can't go.

    Thanks for the offer LB. I will be skipping this year to rebuild and show up next year even better!
    Good luck in your meet! You must be racing at BYU. I did Ironman Utah up in Provo. The run was through the campus and finished on the track. It is a nice area. Lots to do and see there if you have the time.

    Good to hear!

    That's good to hear Billy.

    What an ordeal...and what perfectly BAD timing for it too.
    Sorry you had to go through all that.

    How long are you gonna hug her tomorrow when you get her back?

    Hugs? Na! The old cladding is going to get an extreme trimming and then put back on the front end. Then it will be off to Stric9 for some new rock sliders and to design some front and rear rock bumpers. The new piece of cladding will go into storage in case its needed in the future!

    Of course! Plus the axle being pushed out a bit. I will have them make it modifiable!

    The VX is home and in the garage after a slight scare of them having it longer at the shop. After picking it up I got about 3 mils from the shop and the temp gauge shot up to uber hot! I turned it around and pulled i back in. The tech jumped right on it. When they fill the coolant the system must of had some air in it...they toppd it off and now its good as new. And the air conditioning which worked great before is now 10 times colder! A nice thing in the desert! This weekend I will be moding the old cladding!
