Bobby at CIN Motorsports gets all off the credit for the troubleshooting. I can't imagine how long out should have taken me to find that on my own.

Nice new ride, funny seeing that someone pulled a prank on you and installed eyelids.

I want to keep the body line flowing like I did at the windshield/a-pillar and the windshield/roof, so I'm pretty sure that I'll trim it from point to point like I had my trial run in this pic:

Thanks, guys. It's really rewarding for a car to really feel like it's "mine" again. I was genuinely worried when I lost the roadster and bought the coupe that it would always feel like it was Erk's old car and not "my car". But these few months with her have really been great.
I also have to thank the guys at CIN Motorsports, ErktheJerk, Justin@Redline, Bulletproof, LightningGuy, Vikram, Taywan, TimShady, the admin/mod team, and a ton of other folks on here for helping me out with the transition. I couldn't have done all of this without a great team of friends behind me.

Chris came over to the house and we raised his idle the other night. One of these days I'm going to have a garage where we can all tinker with our cars and hang out. Right now, CIN Motorsports is my hang out in Charlotte - but I can't make it up there every weekend.
If all is well, I'll head to Charlotte on Saturday to pick her up. Then it's on like donkey kong.

Oh freaking YES!!!
Bobby at CIN Motorsports called, and SHE's ALIVE!!!!
They had to track down some things that it had popped when the harness was cut and it shorted against the engine, so I'm super glad that I had the pros on my side for this issue. I'm so excited.
BIG, BIG, BIG shout out to all of the guys at CIN!!!
