Great pics! I SO want to go back!

Visit to the Kona Brewing Company
I feel like the caption on this should read: "...And I drank the whole thing!"

Good lord Bill, how did you manage to leave that place, it looks beautiful

Even though the trip had a sad event, it looks like it was a wonderful time, thanks for sharing the pics.... again.


On the shifting. I definitely think it's a leverage thing. For the first install I had the aluminum block and shifter handle down as far, physically, as it would go. Now putting everything level (al. block level with top of shift arm, bottom of shift level with bottom of al. block), it works much much better. You wouldn't thing a 1/2 inch here, 1/4 inch there would be a big deal. It is. Then again I could be in how far off-center the block was with the centerline of the shifter don't know exactly what it was but it's whole-lots better than it was last week. I was getting to the point that I wasn't looking forward to driving it.

That being said, boy now that it's 20 degrees cooler our here the car sure did perk up, especially in the evenings

Thanks guys! There's a ton more pics, but I won't bore you with them.

If I had to pick a place to live besides SoCal, The Big Island is where it would be for sure.

By the time we left, I saw several GT's, that 1 Saleen cop car, a GT500, and tons of '10 V6 verts.. and one new Camaro.
