Unless you have something really secret brewing, I'm going to guess that the next project that you and Suzy have been working on is off beat and original enough that I would hope to see it in a magazine. Who knows... it has most of the ingredients to catch Freiburger's attention.

Installed a new carbon fiber anvil cowl panel, these Anvil panels are very nice looking I almost hate to cover up the Carbon


first I sanded the panel with 1200 paper, and then masked the panel off


mixed up some white and clear and shot the panel


unmasked the panel


and did the quick install

Nice U got Skilz! ;)

end of season Racing is coming and I have been getting the car ready, with some cool parts, and a new set of tires came in! Falkens 615ks 275-40-17s all four corners! just makes me feel the car will be hooked up

[Rod]

finished the anvil header panel i did have to ream the side mounting holes along with the grill mount holes



I used a unibit! and the girlfriends pink cordless




and I left a carbon line on the backside of the header panel

I have been using grip tape on my clutch and brake pedals for a little while and the clutch pedal tape shreds after a good track day, for daily use it can go for months without tearing, my question is what some of you guys are running on the pedals

Rod - I've used the spray on Plastic-dip product on other applications and could be an option worth trying. It does provide a non-skid feel and peels off easy when your done with it.

What about spray on bedliner?

How difficult was the trunion change? I have everything sitting down stairs but only have common tools. I was going to have my machinist do it when I take the block in to get it machined.

the trunion change was easy no special tools needed, I knocked them out using a deep socket and a hammer to knock it out and a larger socket on the underside, here's my high tech set up, there are no special tolerances to set it to, and after the first one or two I was on a roll!! and they give you the bearing set tool (it looks like two washers) to reinstall the new bearings

[srh3trinity]

Good to know. I like to do what I can. I bought them a while back and haven't really researched swapping them out.

while it was all apart! I had great help from Vince over at Meanstreets Performance and he showed me how to use a really cool pressurization tool and change out the valve springs! along with his comp cams tool, awesome GM performance springs, after a quick lesson, it was my turn, I did get it down to about 5min per cylinder(2 springs)
