What did you buy for your G body today? [2016-2018]

[Kratos]

Made it to the track for my very first run ever. well, we showed up, and blechhhhh.... Fuel pump leaking like a sieve. a quick trip to the AutoZone and $20 later, I was installing a new fuel pump. Made it thru tech and got to run. Lost in the first round but I got to run and learn a few things.
The car ran great! Lit the tires right up, launched the first time with a stumble, but a quick carb adjustment, and it was snappy!
I had not even driven it down the street yet, so that was a giant step forward.

took the collision shop that had my car for 15 months to court last Wednesday.

I'd given him 3k (i'll post pics later) and the car wasn't even done with body work when I pulled it out last month. At least 5 deadlines (that he gave), were missed.

I offered to settle with him the day I pulled the car out of his shop for $1,500 (half of what I'd given him) and he said no. Both body shops that came and saw the car after I pulled it out said whatever "work" he did would have to be done over. $4,500 and $5,000 quotes respectively.

So...I sued him for $4,500. Judge heard my case, saw the pics, and granted judgement in my favor in less than 5 minutes.

Im in aurora il for training and will stop by The Parts Place and up some of their paint to try out.
Also, picked these up from a guy in mchenry il who parts out fbodies. He has a pile of the z code steering boxes. I'll make a seperate post for this.
