And on the 6th month......
My car is finally done. Well for the most part anyway. Drove it home from Coastal last night and boy did it feel good. 
I still have bugs here and there but it runs, drives, and stays charged 
. So far the only things Ive noticed that dont work are the corner lights, most of the guages, guage light and probably someother stuff I dont know about yet. I know the tranny is supposed to get hot, but I think mine is hotter then normal. 
Could be a combonation of the full exhaust and tranny heat, but its just too damn hot. I still have to get a tune and gear put in along with someother much needed suspension. All in all, Im just glad its finally home.
BIG thanks to go Mark (bitemark46), Nick (NCboost), all the guys at Coastal Dyno and Michael and his family for putting up with my Dad and I for the time we were over there working on the car. Last but not least, my Dad for helping my work on it all the time and not getting too pissed off at me about it.
Ill post some pix later when I get home from work. Thanx again guys.

Always good to see people that stick it out until the end.

Anyone know if there is a heat shield that goes over the tranny?As far as what I had done to the car, all I did was just some head and intake work on my V6.
