Cutouts opened -- loud as hell!

Cutouts are closed.

Wow – it’s almost been a full a year since I’ve last updated my blog. It was never intended to be a high traffic site so no biggie. Considering it’s my home page on all of my computers, I’m getting tired of seeing the old post so I figured I’d update with something new.

Earlier this month, I used my income tax returns to purchase UMI 3-point Subframe Connectors, Hawk HPS brake pads, and a set of 4 HPA drilled and slotted rotors. Red Alert should be getting some mods this spring!

Cutouts are open. Really meant a lot to me to be able to bring my car back out to Woodward.

Got more done to Red Alert today. It seems the weekends are the only time I’m able to do anything. My dad has been brilliant through the week getting a lot of stuff done for me. It pays to have a retired father as part of your Pit Crew. I really look forward to the “Father and Son” weekend work. Definitely, by far, the best dad anyone could ask for! Into the same hobby as me and willing to help me out with getting stuff done. This project DEFINITELY would be no where near as far along as it is if it weren’t for him. Thanks dad!!!

And here are the pictures. There’s a lot of duplicates of a hose for the EVAP system.

One more item to throw in the deleted emissions items box that I have.

And the pics:

Well, today was definitely a big milestone within the LT1 Swap project plan. Getting Red Alert, my Camaro, back into the garage means that most of the engine-specific stuff is winding down and now it’s all about k-frames, suspension, undercarriage painting, and sprucing up the engine bay.

Without further rambles, here’s the progress from February 15th!

Very happy with the way this has come out. It’s not perfect, but then again if I wanted perfect I would’ve paid someone to do it.

Sometimes you want to create a popup for a virtual field you’re using, but when you create an SSHD popup it wants to relate to an SSHD form. This is a complete waste of time in my opinion because the popups in SSHD never go to another form – they’re just used on the form itself. So how do we create a popup without having to deal with that? Simple – use SQL Enterprise Manager or SQL Management Studio! In this post, I’ll walk you through the process!
