Well I got my Birthday present from my parents yesterday. (my birthdays Tomarrow 5/16 - 28)
They got me my sparco Harness's I wanted.
Sparco - Camlock Pull up Lap Belts (Black)
Sparco - 48" Shoulder straps (Black)
Sparco - Dual Sub Belt (Black)
Now I just need to replace my Torino's with the Pro2000 Seats so I can put them in. I sat in one yesterday and they were Snug. Don't know how they are going to feel for Street use. But know they will be great for Track.
I plan to get back into Road Racing again now that there is a track so close.
Can't wait to get the car finished.

I put some harnesses in my old car for fun when I use to own it. You pretty much cannot wear them when backing up. When you drive into an embanked corner, you will see that you are at the same angle as the car instead of holding yourself straight up. You'll see. :)

I had 4pnt sparco harness's in there about 2yrs ago but I sold them. the rear mount was to long and there was to much slack to make it safe to use. However the shoulder strap would tighen around the back of my Torino's and definetly not easy to back up, etc.
But they aren't street legal anyways. so I have to retain my stock Seat belts, for when I drive on the streets. And will use them for when I'm at the track. (it's funny that something that's NHRA and FIA legal isn't legal for street use?

Well the $506.94 was a bit much but when it comes to safety you can't skimp.
Plus I have the whole Sparco theme going on in my car which helped persuade my decision. Anyrate can't wait to get the car running. Hopefully I'll get at least 1 chance this summer to run Morroso before the weather gets to bad.

Well Now that Randy's cars done, my motor should be finished shortly.
It's no real rush, It's in the works. I just have a wedding in 2 weeks, and already the first Tropical storm (Adrian) is on it's way to the Carribean supposed to hit this Friday. And might escelate to a Hurricane. Works all excited cause it means a hell of a lot more business. I got 4 leads just this morning, and 4 of the jobs I had in the works just got finalized. I think there is now a huge rush for those people who had been putting it off now that the storms are coming.
Anyrate I'll definetly keep you guys updated once I get it installed and running I'll take pictures.
I still need to get a new Magnus SMI for the 1G Block and the Fluidyne Radiator. I'm kind of contemplating on just going with a 3" TB and then just waiting and getting my I/C changed to 3" and going with the 3" GM MAFT.
