No it doesn't, that's one thing he's wanted to put on it. If we did that though it would not fit in the garage with the Corvette in the winter, so unless we build another shop it won't happen :(

Pacific Stereo in Woodland Hills, Ca.

The new stereo is a Kenwood 6903s

The current 6 5x7s work great thru a Kenwood 450-4, and I have a Cerwin Vega Vega 500-1 thru a Kicker Comp VR 1x12 in a box.

So I just tackled an 8 mile 10% grade while pulling the 13,500 TT... I am feeling pretty accomplished right now. Next stop, Boise, ID.

So, you are headed in the wrong direction...

I am sitting in Denver for another day, then off to Utah.

What is your schedule? Would be nice to at least say hi and shake your hand. :-drink

Nothing, because 14.5 hours into my 12 hour night shift it wouldn't start. Luckily a "country" neighbor was leaving at the same time and gave me a ride home. Didn't get any troubleshooting of any kind done other that it didn't start. FML!

New front sway bar bushings and a gallon of Por15 showed up today. The bushings will be going on tonight and the Por15 is for an extended project this fall.

What would you guys thing about the Por15 on the wheels???

POR doesn't do well in direct sunlight. It turns purplish.

So I was eating dinner and got a text that my Ex was drunk at the bar and needed to be brought home. Looks like the rental has been cut short due to some crappy situations. She put 300 miles on it since the 4th and there is no damage so all is well. Back in my driveway now :)

This Ex was parked right in front of it. I believe this was a member from Kodiak's old Ex.

In other news I picked up another project Explorer...I love these things. This one is a '91 with a brand new transmission (w/paperwork) it's very clean, no rust, tags good for 2 years but the engine has a noise. I happen to have a perfectly running engine to worst case we swap it out. best part is it was only $200.

No but it took forever...it was a windy 2 lane road that I crawled up at 20mph. Now the 7 mile 7% downhill grade saw no faster than 30mph in first gear.
