Get my point?
Yes, it was a hectic day...well, it has been a hectic year with this car. After you left, we took the engine out, modified the hydraulic throw out bearing, welded the pipes, polished the pipes, dialed in the bell housing, and reinstalled everything. The only bummer was I wasn't able to go on the Homecoming run with you guys. But I am pretty focused on this car to get it done. As I am sure you can imagine, it takes a lot of focus to do something like this--and try to keep all your other customers happy at the same time.

Thanks for coming by! I hope you liked the car. Unfortunately, pictures don't do the car justice.
