98intrigue's long overdue journal

I talked to RSI in Texas about shipping them my car, but my motor is already out. It would cost over $1000 to ship both ways. The only thing that's keeping me from taking my car/motor back is that my motor is being machined by .: Nelson Competition, Inc. - 727.321.5756 :.. They are VERY well known and are local.

I know Lee has a nasty Viper (which I believe is still the fastest pump gas Viper in the world) but I personally know nothing about his shop.

I see that that shop did Lee Saunders's Viper? Damn, I'd guess yours is in good hands then
