So, yeh... a minor update. My body/paint guy was fired from his job of 16 years last week. I'm not panicking (yet) as I have a lot of contacts in the customs industry up here, but that was my best option available to me. So, I'll have to start idea shopping and getting quotes in the spring. In the meantime, I'll still be ordering my cams and possibly my LSD as at least my main mechanic buddy is still around!
Also, I may end up going with SVT front/rear bumper covers. This is an idea I've cooked up in the last couple of weeks and would take the car a long way towards being more of a SVT-type build. Once the cam is in and it's putting down well over 140WHP, I wouldn't have any shame in having those front/rear covers on there. To some of those who don't know me, it sounds like a lot of hand-wringing over nothing... but for those who do, you know me all too well. I don't like flashy stuff, and I hate, hate, HATE cars that advertise as being more than they are. Plus, swaps are direct and wiring is easy for the fogs, so it's a win. It would go nice with the NA SVT headlights already there, plus my SVT suspension and interior panels.
Time will tell.
