Talking Epic update...
This is probably the biggest step for Epic since the acident but you all will be glad to know that as of yesterday afternoon my beloved has been at a body shop getting the frame worked on. My guy (his name is Ron) gave me an estimate today too. Said it was going to be roughtly $400-$500 not including parts. As far as parts go he siad he needed that front impact bar and the waffle plastic and the radiator core suport. Well the impact bar i already have on the way (love Ebay) and he's going to go to a dealership and get the core suport so we'll see how much that ends up being (freaking dealership) but all in all this is actual progress.

BTW, once the frame is done it's just a matter fo radiator, fans, and AC condesor and i can turn the key!

Can't wait to see the finished product Grant

Are you going with the LS1 front end, or staying with the LT1?

You know I was thinking about all that you've told me about your car, and you could not have picked a better name. The saga of "Epic" has truly been of epic proportions thus far.

yeah and you gotta grow some ***** too. when i was there we were gonna loop the radiator hose so that the coolant cycles back in so it would all be fine. you got all scared and were afraid to start it

but yeah thats awesome news! i gotta come back down when you get it running and check out that free ram air i told you about. last time you couldnt give me a ride so you owe me

Go for the LS1 front end, I mean since you have to buy all the parts anyways. Plus this is your chance to get the cowl induction hood you've always wanted

he cant punch it. last time he did this whole thing happened. so did ya ever find out what it was grant? my guess was the throttle valve spring broke. this would prevent the butterfly from closing. when i looked at it it looked like there was no tension in the spring. so thats prolly it.
