Very nice. She's coming along nicely Cutris.
I feel for you putting that car on the trailer all by yourself. No thanks! lol
Love the Wilwood caliper color. Should go awesome with the wheels and color of the car.

Yeah, I'm not going to lie.....it got silly.

Wow---didn't realize you aborted the 69----and all of the sudden here you are with a complete AME car and newly rebuilt LS motor going into another Camaro. Cleary there's a story here that would be great to hear---maybe not easy to tell however. Maybe at SEMA party you can fill in the blanks in between.

Love the whole setup---and they way you are approaching it. Seems like it is moving fast---congrats bro--very cool and very exciting.

D

It's messed up, but.....it sh1t happens.

Nice build man, moving at the speed of light also! You're not messing around with getting this one done and on the road. I'm liking the staying on budget thing...those valve covers turned out good. Look forward to seeing more as you move along. Thanks for sharing.

The Budget goes fast!!! :_paranoid I've had to say no to a lot of things that I'd like to do. Not that I won't get them, I just won't get them right now.

I just got home from Goodguys in Puyallup. Looked at a lot of cars and I have to say...I took apart a car that was nicer than most. Not nicer in every way, but as an entire package...yeah. I am pretty stoked with the direction the car is headed.

Allen you just need to get your butt down here once it's done and cruise with me.

Looking great, Curtis. Glad this one is moving along smoothly for you.

Thanks man. I hope it continues to go smooth. I received a text message saying the rear suspension was pulled today and that they where ready to get started on the frame rails.

:lol: Yeah bro....you might wanna duck and cover when she sees this. :smiley_smack: Not saying I don't agree though.

Really glad that everything is going so fast, you'll be on the road before SEMA possibly. Would like to see pictures soon of the rear suspension install as I'm curious to see how it fits into the car. What choice for gas tank?

Thanks,
Rod

I hope to have pictures of the rear end install this weekend. Russ has a full time job, so he is working on my car only on the weekends. Worth the wait kinda thing. One of the nice things about the AME rear suspension is that there's room for a stock fuel tank.

When it came to the fuel system setup I had a lot of questions!! So I talked to the experts. Carl Casanova at VaporWorx gave a lot of great advise and helped me line out exactly what I needed. I went with the VaporWorxs tank from Ricks. Hector made everything go smooth.

Here's what I received from Carl. I can give you a full list of exactly what's there if you'd like.

And the tanks from Ricks.

Just Kidding about SEMA

It would be cool if the car was done for SEMA, but I'm sure that you are more interested in it being done right the first time then getting done for SEMA. Yes, would like the info for the Vapor Works setup. I have that on my build list as a must have item. After reading the builds and thinking it through I think everyone should go that route. Not having a return line simplifies fuel line routing, and minimizes fuel leak issues. Also, quieter fuel pump, easy to upgrade is necessary for increased horsepower.

The welding up of the AME rear suspension is something that needs to be measured twice and cut (weld) once. So you are going to have a great chassis going on the car when done. And stock fuel tank is a worthwhile plus.

Any thoughts on exhaust routing yet? Running all the way to the rear or outlet at another location?

I think this is going to be a great car when done.
