[QUOTE=KushZEN;10485179]It all depends on which path I take, I literally left everything in their hands. I figure go big or go home since money isn't really an issue.


Gotcha! I wanna be like you when I grow up then and just build whatever I want and not stress about the money

Haha, I'm not grown up yet, trust me, still a college student; spending every dime I earn on the car rather than saving it for the future. This is probably the biggest money sink I've ever had and worst thing to invest into as there are no returns... but it makes me happy so that's what counts right?

Dream big and chase it - that's what I was always told.

That's a Great Idea! It's not an Investment! It's money thrown into the Gutter!

Be a Leader, and you will never have to chase anything......

You must still be on Mommy and Daddy's Payroll. You'll be in for a rude awakening when it the money stops.

I was Young, Dumb and Stupid once upon a time, I've learned the error of my ways......

Live for Today! Plan for Tomorrow! That's means save you Phucking Money.

Oh, You have a Vortech! You need to Buy a "TimRod Radius Rod Strut Kit" This will stop any Serp Belt Issues like slip, and Hold to a min of 26psi. Buy it NOW!

If you would like to know how to get one, PM me.

Definitely not on Mommy and Daddy's payroll, I'm partnered in a few business ventures of my own; nothing huge, but enough to slowly fund the car. Parent's don't support this project at all (in fact, they've been trying to make me get rid of it), so there's not a single dime from them on it.

I know it's a terrible way to spend money, but what's done is done.

I already purchased a TimRod kit, thanks though. At least one good decision was made here? hah.

no worries; no harm, no foul. I do understand the point you make though.

In any case, the car is still at the shop. Waiting for them to start disassembling it, they're currently busy with some other cars at the shop though.

Found the culprit which sadly ended the fate of my motor. If you didn't read the first post, Owner some how FFFFF'd the oil pick up tube and oil pan. He replaced the oil pan and left this hiding behind it, so I had no idea it was broken all along.

Moving on to paint! Big shout out to Marty, Technosquare, and Auto Explosion for the work thus far.
