Default This is fast!! (pics on page 2)

I am in the process of upgrading my car. First we needed to take out the engine. My buddy, who is an excellent mechanic, took out the motor/tranny in 1hr 18 minutes. He told me he would get it out in 1hr 15 min. Now the fun can begin. I guess you can imagine what we are doing. I'll post pics later.

Steve,
You are always on my case. I guess I will need to get some "proof in the pudding". blah blah blah. I am glad you have a sense of humor because without it talking to you would get kinda boring. lol

Alright. The challenge has been thrown out there. You'll just have to prove Steve wrong.
