    As of last Saturday, they had everything taken back out (engine, tranny, transfer case) so that they could tweek some of the mounts & fully weld what had only been tack welded in place.

    His immediate plan of attack was to make some clearance for the exhaust & figure out where to position the airbox.

    It's gonna be really sweet ... & a real sleeper. She's gonna look 100% stock ... till you pop the hood!

    The problem wasn't being a sleeper. Being a sleeper is the solution.

    What I meant was that from the outside it looks like any other VX, even if you look in the window. Everything looks stock.

    Then you tromp on the gas & she's WIDE awake. You are left there with a dumb look on your face wondering where that black thang went.

    I know...I was being facetious...

    And I usually have a dumb look on my face...

    That being said, there is NO WAY an LS plant would call my under hood environs home for very long, without something expen$ive & $hiny eventually poking through the hood...

    Yah, I figured that. I just didn't want the guys at Auto Pros to think I was ditsing their dream machine.

    I have no response to the dumb look on your face. There's only one problem with it. It's TLMP's problem.

    & I ABSOLUTELY don't want to be discussing your pokey thing!!!
