Actually its more like 20K + but either way makes for a very nice bday present .

Some of the reason is the travelling cost, hotel expense, and CAD conversion to USD.

For updates:

I am back home. Had a little delay with crazy questions at the boarder.

Jeff is still working on the GS. I had to leave Dallas due to certain circumstances.

But I was able to hear the engine and it sounded absolutely AMAZING.

The airrunner was getting completed, as I was leaving.

Jeff was also tuning the engine, and will be completeing the other suspension, and lighting mods.

Hopefully I can have the GS shipped next week or so.

Also got to say, if you need work done. Jeff is the guy to go to, doesnt matter how long the drive is, it will be WORTH it. I saw first hand, and everything he did was top notch. I do not even know how long he had spent wiring the harness it was not an easy task...

I only wish I could have been there to see the whole thing completed and drive it back... But now I got to wait for the surprise of Jeff's completed work .

I'm going to head over to Jeff's place to check out the GS today.

I'll take pictures of it in it's current state.

I'll post them only if I have permission from NVTHSLEX.
