You gotter. Not my proudest work, but i wanted to see if it would work out and fit properly before I invested a couple thousand in stainless. The 2.25" primaries are overkill but it looks cool and made for a good challenge.

Finished the intake last night.

Wish I was more detailed building this thing, but all I have is a bunch of pictures from each big milestoney. Anyway here's the motor back in, fire wall notched, brakes and clutch bled. Going to put the wiring back in this weekend and hopefully fire this jalopy up.

Wow, this has gone through an incredible transformation. Damn, your welding skills are insane. Care to share what equipment you are using?

Thank you sir, I have a Millermatic 211 auto set for my GMAW welding and a cheap Linde 185 AC/DC machine for GTAW.

Finish closing in the trunk. Hated the factory trunk, and it hides the battery and bottle.

Sorry I don't, I haven't perfected it yet. I literally just extended the drive rod and flipped it to the other side. I'm not even sure what the hole was for in the firewall, I believe foot well vents??

Wow! this was really thinking outside the box and as far away as you can get just buying parts. Impressive fab skills!

[TANKMASTERJ]

Wow I'm totally impressed. Awesome build thread.

really cool build, how did you mount your c5 A arms? They seem to be straight, level? I think they are supposed to be angled, offset to keep its suspension geometry.Dobbertin performance makes mounting brackets to hang c5 arms or you can make a simple jig to reverse engineer the c5 corvette mounts to get the correct suspension geometry. just wanted to get your thoughts on this, thanks

The uppers, spindles, diff and axles are Toyota supra. The front are mounted at an angle its just hard to see. I followed factory geometry for the most part but there is lots of information on suspension geometry. I forgot most of what I learned already.

Little more done, got the bottom, bay and inside all coated/painted and just working on re-assembly.
