Hey Yall,
 
Some of you may remember me, but I have been absent from C3VR for awhile. I'm currently in Afghanistan working as a contractor. The opportunity came up not long after getting out of the Army and it was too good to pass up. Although my vette is on hold while I'm here for 1 year, it's definately not forgotten. The very cool upside is I now have lot's of money to play with so I can finish my baby. Having money for the paint and body work is no longer an issue. Something that made my stomach turn pondering how to pay for it is now an afterthought. I have a 10k paint and body work budget to work with now, whoo hoo!
What I am looking at now are things like the tremec 5 sp, some serious suspension upgrades, new radiator w/elec fan, rack and pinion and so on. If you all remember I had done a body off and a new 383 awhile back and I relied heavilly on everyones opinions, advice and help to get as far as I did on my project.
So here it is, I would like to hear about the best upgrades you all have done and what you would have done different having the chance. If your wondering about my project you can check out the photos http://picasaweb.google.com/minnickjason
