oh yes, will be back in Cali feb. can't wait.
we will definatly have to put something together in the coming months....maybe in march when it warms up a bit more

I have been in the market as well for a scoop and i watch ebay from time to time...theres some decent deals on scoops there.
also, summit and jegs both have the mr gasket look-a-likes for cheap too.
or you could go all out and get one of
these beaut's

they arent cheap....they run $300-$400 depending on if its polished or not.
