      Good progress. I know there's about 3 million things left but you're doing all right.

      on the ground

      Well she is off of the lift and on the ground . Also ran it acrossed the scales! I was pleasantly suprised. Now it still has some more parts to be installed, but looks like I should be able to keep it under 3,100 lbs. which is my goal! Balance looks pretty good front to rear also.

      shifter cover

      Had to modify the transmission tunnel to clear the 4L60E and Lokar shifter assembly. Fits great now!

      LCA and coil overs

      Modified my stock lower control arms to work with the new QA1 coil overs, and a small notch to clear the wheel on hard turns. First picture is a stock arm and the modified next to each other. I made new 1/4" plates and sandwiched the stock control arm, after cutting out the old spring locator. With the 2 plates sandwiching the stock LCA, they should be able to handle the stress of hard cornering.

      finalized the front brake mounts

      Finished the front brake caliper mounts to the original spindles. Now the C5 ZO6 brakes should be ready to do work! Just have bleeding brakes left. Another thing off of the list.

      Nice build man! I really like the way the wheels look. Good to see someone utilizing the factory front suspension instead of swapping to a Mustang II.

      don't like the roll center of the MKII front suspension. But I will eventually swapping for a C5 front suspension for better autoX and better roll center numbers.

      I need to call you guys. Want to get a rear sway bar, and I see you guys are making one for the C10 truck arm rear suspension. Maybe we can work one out to fit my car....

      Corn Feed

      Got my flex fuel sensor today, I'll hook it up to my Holley HP so I can run E-85, or any blend that I want or find if I'm out cruising.

      Damn George, she is coming along great. Watching you thrash on this thing has lit the fire under my ass to finish my '65 GMC truck. Can't wait to see it in person, I'm planning on dragging the wife up to the Cruising event.
