You've got a PM [/QUOTE]

While you're in BG you might as well go for the trifecta and take a tour of the Assembly Plant.  You won't be disappointed!

The plant tour takes maybe an hour and a half.  Same for Holley (unless After Shark is REALLY in a talk-a-tive mood!  ).  If you won't be back in the BG area anytime soon I'd really recommend taking the time.

Believe me, Jim, I'd love to do all three. The problem is my wife is going out of town next Friday so I have to be back by late Thursday night. It's going to be three solid days of driving from BG home, so I need to be on the road by around noon on Tuesday.

Yeah, it was time to ditch Laguna70 since the car is now long gone.

Vette(s): 1972 Coupe Anything, but Stock and more mods to come! SSBC Force 10 Brakes, 3.73, TH350, 355 CID, Rack and Pinion, Vette Brakes suspension front and rear.

Matt just left Holley at 11:30.  It was great meeting him.  Very nice guy and his 69 is cool too.  Very loud with those race muffler side pipes.  Its basically as Matt so well put it, a race car with a c3 body.    I'm not sure, but I think he might have been impressed with all of the CNC equipment, plus I got to show him some stuff that was in the process of being developed.

It seem no problems on the first leg of the trip.  That's a good sign he will probably be okay the rest of the way.  I'll keep my fingers crossed.
