So I figured i'd start this off so we could figure something out like dates, prices, and what not. Pretty much when would it work best for everyone??? That's the main thing. Personally i'm up for any weekend but I just need to know when to take work off. Any input is welcome  8)

I know your going to think I'm crazy.....but what if we do the body prep day first Sun in Aug. and shoot for the Paint day second sunday? My thought is that gives everyone PLEEEEEENTY of time to get days off and what not. and we can get it all done before the end of the month.
No really...I do it for a living.

I think those would work for me....any ideas yet on where we would do the body day?  mainly because my cabby could use some and cant drive anywhere so it would be nice to have to somewhere close enough where I could tow her with matts parents truck.

The worst performance mod is whatever you're limited to because you convinced yourself (or others) that anything bigger or faster was too extreme for a street car.
