I was supposed to have another car, But the guy disappeared on me and left me at the last minute to decide to put Road Demon back on the road.


Do you want me to send those cores or bring them to you at Reading?

you can just bring em to reading... I have also been working on another car. I have been putting together a 4.11 4eat so Earl has a car to drive... Still trying to read the power light code but it won't come up... Just waiting for the insurance and registration to come through so I can test drive it and see if it is a problem or not... Anyway, This car got a VERY new 4.11 jdm 4eat, svxfiles trans resistor, PWR radiator, urethane rear diff bushings, urethane trans mount and a ton of other stuff. I am no stranger to last minute work...

Road Demons Transmission, rearend, and exhaust are all in pieces right now. It is half way done now. Tomorrow we will install the new rear and tranny and new headpipes where mine were all dented in and we'll be welding up the exhaust. I'll also be replacing a motor mount as I found out today one is snapped in half. I'll be driving it home tomorrow and finishing mods and cleaning it.
