I had a productive Saturday. FINALLY!

I got the rear pinion angle set and the upper bar tabs tacked onto the rearend for the rear 4-link.

I managed to get the Dynatech headers to finally fit the DSE steering box as well. I had it setup for them to go back, but thought I'd give it one last go today and try to get them to fit. After researching last night for headers and only came up with custom built headers for around $2000, I found more motivation to try and make these work. They do not fit perfectly, though. I will have to dimple #5 primary tube to clear the steering box. I can live with that:thumbsup:

My longer front coil-overs came Friday, so I will get the front suspension setup early this week. I ordered a G-Force cross member and it will be here Tuesday. Providing I get the front suspension done Monday and no later than Tuesday, I will be able to put this car on the ground with its new suspension and complete drivetrain in the car.

I, also, measured for my driveshaft, so I will be ordering that Monday.

Here's some pictures for those that like the picture books instead of the books with words:P

Rear suspension at ride height:yes:

That looks awesome, congrats on the progress. Keep up the great work!

Thanks Robert. I'm stoked, to say the least. Can't even go to sleep. Getting those headers to even come close to fitting has lifted a huge weight off my shoulders as well as getting the rear suspension finally setup along with driveshaft ready to order:woot:

Great progress :thumbsup: Keep at it you will have in done in no time.
What wheels are running? I've seen those before?

Thanks Rick. They are nothing special. They are aftermarket replica wheels. They are called the C6 Z06 Motorsports wheel.

I actually found them cheaper just buying direct from the Manufacturer. They are not a bad looking wheel. They are definitely not the wheel I want, but I'm not willing to shell out $5k for a set of wheels right now.

I tried to grow one of those money trees. The problem I found with them is I can never get the seed to germinate. Guess it takes money to make money, right:lol:

Rick D 08-14-2012 08:12 PM

Come on their not 5k for the wheels only $4200 :lol: Yah my wheels will come a little later in the build. Unless I find another great deal like I had before but had to back out because of some uncertainty at work.
