There are prolly more toys out there for a chebby truck than for a vette .. an ..there's a LOT of toys for the vette :)

Stopped in today at Loud Pedal Motorsports and ordered the same B&B bullet cat-back exhaust I had on my other vette, just a nice growly sound w/minimum restriction :)
Also havin 'em stuff an aluminum radiator in to boost cooling capacity.

Preppin the car for more power .. comin slowly but surely :)
Goal is 427 w/procharger ..be a couple years doin it but it's worth doin :)

Keeping this truck stock and trying to keep the bugger clean etc, but a tad dusty in the desert and got no garage.

Good thing its been raining the last couple of days, makes it easier :D

Enjoy the ride GE, good to see ya bud.

Post by: Grayeagle on July 10, 2011, 12:29:16 PM: I haven't done anything in Max since I was laid off from 2XL games.
-sigh-

Getting the latest version of Max is on my 'to do' list, but it's pretty far down the list atm.
ie:
1) move into the apt we got (monday, man it makes me want to take a Nap just sayin the word 'move' yanno?)
.
.
.
42) get a house with a garage (next summer)
.
.
.
78) setup a place to do 3dMax (book cases, research mats, etc)

We finally saw some summer temperatures the last couple weeks here, today the June gloom is back so were back to the mild trend we've had most the year.
