Wow AJ I love what you doing. Very nice fab work.

Looks great AJ. Keep up the great work.
That battery tray looks awesome.

thanks guys!

been working on this some over the last few days. since i had to cut out a chunk or the floor to mount the rear suspension i needed to replace it now that the suspension is done.

the fill panel mocked up for the last time to check fitment.

from the trunk side. i left the ends open because i need to notch the floor for the exhaust. can't do that until the fuel cell gets here.

got one valve welded into the passenger side muffler after i check for clearance. they will work like factory corvettes. open at 25% and up throttle and 3000 RPM, has to meet both of them not just one. they are 3" flowtech warlock mufflers. they are set up the same as Z06 mufflers but a smaller package and sound better (i hope).

didn't take any pictures but i got front and rear C5 vette calipers. they should go out to powder coat soon and then rebuild them with stainless pistons.

This is starting to real nice.Love the 3 link setup.:thumbsup:

You going with some kind of NPP in a box or a Mild 2 Wild controller?

building my own system with parts from another company. the m2w and npp stuff are not automatic controled like my system is.

AJ,

I got a good chuckle out of your "half welded ground down and sanded"..... You and I must be a lot alike. I can't stand just welding for 2 or 3 hours... I have to stop and partly finish.... then make a patch... then weld some... :cheers:

you are very very talented.i just read the whole thread.my hats off to you.:hail:
