The Turismo is running fine...a little bit of early morning starting trouble but I'm not worried about that. I may be getting a Supercharger (cross your fingers)

I was looking in the MOPAR magazine they have a disc brake kit for plymouyths. I need to know what body I have. L-body, K-body, A-body...I have no clue. Also I am noticing there isn't much info out there on Turismo's dam

Also just got word from Amazon.com Should have my Wraith movie buy Wednesday..gonna dissect that movie like crazy. Still no word from the people that make kit cars on whether they can do me one. I may have to learn to weld...lol

Hey Devil,
Here are some dimensions on the Turismo- 56" wide measuring from the center on the rear wheels across. 102" long measuring from center of rear to center of front wheel. Now is that considered the wheelbase?

Dropped the Turismo off at the dealership that did the engine work so they cam work on the carburetor. I also got e-mails from the person that owns one of the prop cars from the movie The Wraith. He may be looking to sell. Keep yur fingers crossed.

Called Dealership today. Get this. When they did engine work for the last owner, they put in a "rebuilt" carb. Charged him for a "new" carb. Well today the let me know that the carb is still under warranty- no crap it was put in 2 months ago- they are replacing it free..whoopee dooo. They should have it ready tomorrow. Once it's taken care of they will never see that car again in their shop.
Gonna watch the Wraith with the wife tonight..got my DVD in.
