Sorry to hear that the car got messed with, that has gotta be one of my biggest peeves when people go out of their way to destruct my personal (and loved) property. Flat black looks mean! I think that's a nice way to go.

That was an initial startuP, car was cold and rich. Aka black smoke. It's gone now.

Car is home from the paint shop, updated photos with hood coming soon

No one builds DSM/EVO's like Chevy guys lol.......
are they reimbursing him labor i hope? because if that happened to me i would freak out.

he still wants me to tune that car also, so let me know when you fix all the 1001 mistakes on it. I knew the engine sounded weird right when i heard it the first time.

I'm not allowed to open it up because it will void the warranty so I guess Tach Motor Works will have to tell us what happened.
Ok sounds good. you are going to rebuild it though right? or are they? honestly if it failed once id be scared to let them do it again.. maybe their machine shop screwed them i dont know, but its the builders responsibility to check clearance as hes assembling and blue print etc to confirm everything is within spec.

Aaron said alot of good things about you btw.
