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...:flower:

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

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...:yesgray:

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!!!

Heck... why not just cover all the windows, set up some cameras around the front, side, and rear, and just use a projector to display everything on the inside of the windshield? That has always been a dream of mine... the super not-so-stealth destroyer.

They had those in some vampire movie. If I can ever remember which one, I'll post it.

It was Daybreakers

Suspension and Brakes are going to be minor upgrades to Rancho shocks, stronger torsion bars cranked up, and Drilled/Slotted rotors and cermaic brake pads, possibly the steel braided lines. Being that this will eventually be shipped overseas, we want to keep the parts accessible to the customer if they ever have a problem.

Just out of curiosity, what country is the VX being shipped to upon completion?

So - do you think the next one (and you KNOW they'll be a "next one"!) will be "easier" having done this one?

Yes it were. Glad your rememory is better-n mine:). Would't it have been sweet if they'd done it with a VX??? Rekin not though since they shot it all to hell.

Along the lines of this question: - once this swap is done, what was the total amount of man-hours taken on this project and what was the total cost of this project?

Just an update, one of our techs had to go out for surgery last month, so progress and updates will resum next week!

Final Assembly has begun. Pictures coming soon!
