By request: Prodigy Undercarrige
A few asked for pictures underneath. You can see the fuel tank is not tight yet in this pic but I wanted to get something on for you guys. I think this is a good leason in exhaust routing for some, no draging issues here.

man, thats some good ground clearance! Who did all the welding? I thought the floors were sandblasted, why undercoating not body color?(well i guess it is black
? You should later after sema do a diffuser in the rear or whatever they call it, like on Chicayne to match teh floor pan

Yody, I did not expect you to respond positive, I am not sure weather this response was positive or not, to anything I posted after your bitching about me and others in the chat room last night. Even though others requested pics, I really had second thoughts about posting at all based on the things you said last night, then I said screw it, and posted anyway.
Michael did all the welding on the car

hmmm, sorry you feel that way. Would you rather me respond negatively? If you didn't hear it from horses mouth then I wouldn't take hearsay too seriously. So, still wondering about the undercoating? what made you go that way instead of body color/ or semi black?

Frank,
What kind of undercoating is that? it really has a nice texture to it. I didnt even notice the tank until now. The black tank looks killer-David

The undercoat is Wurth SKS, it is there for noise reduction and a durable surface, we use it on almost everything we do. The fuel tank is something Ricks and I designed, it is not black that is a bad picture, it is stainless and it does look like the exhaust runs through the tank. The pipes run near the trunk floor, and the tank has cut outs to go around them. It is a real work of art and really adds to the nice packaging. Rick's Hot Rod Shop is the best.

At the risk of being labeled a *********, Nice job Guys.
I know it has been a challenge to get it done in time, and my hat is off for the level of detail at this late date.
Now, get back to work, SEMA is tommorrow.Bill

I wasn't criticizing his car, but I will stay out of it anyway, no need to throw fuel on the fire

That car is stunning. You guys did one hell of a job turning the mega rust-bucket into that nice hotrod. The floor design reminds me alot of the C5/C6 Vettes.

Thanks for noticing Tony. That was completely by design. The car has many other Corvette features that will be seen next week. We are Camaro and Corvette lovers, so why not blend the two.

I'd say that about sums it up. Obviously, these pix show the car before it has been completed and detailed for SEMA. There should be a sign stating: Under Construction: Please Excuse Our Appearance" Parts are hanging off of it, body shop dust coats every surface and nook. And the inevitable blemishes caused during assembly have yet to be touched up. There is no sense judging or questioning the build until the car is shown complete and the engineering is explained in full. Originally Posted by Nine Ball
