Clutchmaster stage 3 was orderd.
Headers are getting re-coated this week.
Jon got the re-honing tool and should be starting it soon.
I don't want him to feel rushed with the weather being crap this weekend.And jon had a few things come up.

Yeah I'm taking tomorrow off work to get my windshield replaced so I'll be around to start in on honing and cleaning and painting so maybe I'll get a good amount done tomorrow.

Nice!

Looks like good work going on there. And I see that I'm not the only one with a shop that is heated with wood. LOL

Remember Robert, the coaters are in Hartford and right now that is near a disaster area after the snow storm similar to the eastern side after the hurricane, so if you don't hear from him he may not have power or the package just hasn't gotten to him due to delivery delays. I still haven't received my ceramic coating paint and they were supposed to be here Monday.

Yeah i never really wanted the spec from the start.
Im always asking alxsmt for advise because he does alot of hard driving on his setup and has the same car.He said his is still fine.And i know geoff likes his too.I tried saving a few dollars getting the spec.But in the end i had to spend money to have the right parts sent because they messed up.lol I won't buy anything from them again it's crap.
Man everytime i look at what jon did so far i smile=)
