Boothe stuff that arrived today:

* jack pad (heavy and solid! a quality piece and will keep our Lottie's unders sparkly new)
* soft socket (i like my nuts w/out that "chewed on" look)

also received a package from ChaseCam.com:

*in-car camera mount - which looks a little something like this:

yep, attaches right on the OhSh!t/luggage bar in-between the driver and passenger seat. (note:...

Wine Country Motor Sports has been great to work with. not only did they have a helmet sale (now done, sad to say), but they have a continuous PCA discount on their items. at checkout, WCMS even gave me 10% off of my awesome wrench ring (course, after spending $700+ on helmets...one may expect such things.) our helmets were ordered directly from Bell, as WCMS did not have our matte black in stock - they were shipped and arrived precisely as planned.

helmet bags? where were our special...

Arrrgh.... Got an update from iA late in the evening. Things are going well with the swap but Stephen ran into a few snags with swapping some of the plumbing around that caused him a delay since he had to order some parts that weren't available here in the US and subsequently had to be flown in from Germany. This being the first swap they've done I'm sure all the 'lessons learned' will mean any future conversions they do will go a bit quicker since they'll know the routine and also all the bits...

Nothing new to report.

I have faith that progress is being made, Kens mid week pictures helped confirm that, but I didn't get an update from iA at COB friday. Actually, no real updates all week and only a few days left till the target completion date...

Its REALLY hard to be patient and not pester Stephen but I also know that the work will get done as fast as they can manage it and my pesting won't make it go any faster. Of course as the (admitedly nit picky)...

Ken dropped by iA yesterday and took some more pictures that he uploaded to my photo gallery so now I have some material to blog!

*** WARNING !!! Some of these images are graphic in nature and not for the faint of heart... *** (LOL!) a complete motor swap is MAJOR surgery and seeing your pride and joy in such a state is actually a bit disturbing... I'm just going to focus on what it will be like once its finished! Whew! OK, better now.

Here we go!
