Well unfortunately for the car i am closing on a house in 2 weeks and my time and space has disappeared. I have tried to pack everything for the car inside.

It will go to my brothers house until we move.

[rhurley]

Headed to a safe place for the next 3 weeks while we move.







Its in good company in my brothers garage. Ill be able to work on it as well. if i have time.

You know you have an awesome garage when it takes you three pictures to realize there's a Vette tucked in the corner! Sweet!

Good Luck with the move!

After way to long of moving. And adding yet another project to the list. I am back at it.

Hope to have it started in the next few weeks.

Bought a 3G Alt. the factory alt was bad.



Made an intake, still needs paint.

[rhurley]

Looks great. Where'd you get that plate to mount the gauges on? I made my own out of plastic I had lying around.

Regarding the alignment, are you using the stock lower arms? Can't see the older pictures in your thread. If you are, check out these adjustable lowers. I just ordered a set yesterday to replace the arms I have in my build.
