Dave took off his Speary Top Siders when he got there and Rob took off his red Puma driving shoes after arrival. Brett had his usual Polo shirt with the collar flipped.

The funny looking one with the Ford has a GOLD Starbucks card! Surely he can afford something more to wear than camo underwear... and a 20 year old Edelbrock shirt.

The professor in the Blue t shirt and the sunglasses from Sunglass Hut - has a "Dr." in front of his name... and has a 6....5....4....3....2....1 second Camaro.

..... and then there's the poor lowly "Mod".... where admittedly an upgrade for him would be the other twos cast offs.

So, you've been to Sunglass Hut then---:weld:

They are Oaklays, not Oakleys.

I spent all my $$ on Coffee and Sideoiler parts and had nothing left for clothes.

:cheers:

I already dressed up twice this weekend for the wedding I was in town for. That's my excuse.

Rob just obviously acosted a homeless man and stole those raggedy flip flops.

Even an Armani suit wouldn't make these guys look good. :D

I'm living proof you can't buy class.....

Don't feel bad. The rest of us are proof that you can't build class either.

Aint that the truth :lol: :cheers:

Stop holding out. Let's see the finished exhaust.:bump:

Is that exhaust as potentially loud as it appears?

Congrats Doug and Brett. :thumbsup:

No project can be successful without proper direction...anyone can see that is Doc Dub's strong suit.

Looks great, nice work Brett. Alright Doug, time for a drive-by vid with the Camaro to hear that exhaust. :unibrow:

Looks AWASOME Doug!!! Brett knocked it out of the park!!

Doug that's just awesome ! Friggin Brett is bad azz!!!!:trophy-1302:

Doug it looks sweet! Nice work Brett.

Nice work Brett! I'm assuming the notches in the exhaust pipes are to detune that monster under the hood?:D

It's hilarious. I've heard it running and with that exhaust the motor actually sounds like something it isn't:lmao:

:cheers:

The last time I saw this guy -- he was rubbing his head and mumbling something about his lips being numb…


Oh those were good times! :happy23:

That's top notch work Brett,Doug car sure looks good,the name is perfect for the car.:trophy-1302:

Looks good. Nice and low. :thumbsup:

What coating is on the exhaust?

Brett delivered the car on Friday night. I've driven it about an hour straight, then lots of shorter trips in between. I pulled the seats out last night and pulled the console to finally install some gauges in the car along with the new Hurst Blackjack shifter. Got almost everything done today and will post up some pics this week.

Initial driving impressions are outstanding. The car has better corning ability at autocross speeds and is more compliant when pushed. It's a nice noticeable difference. The car feels much more solid at speeds above 40--like it's stuck to the road and is tracking it much nicer than before. The ride is greatly improved with this setup as well. No weird vibrations and the rear end makes no new noises at speed---no whine whatsoever. Brakes are still breaking in so I haven't had the chance to really smash the pedal but will get to that in another week or so. The car sits more than a half inch lower than previously all the way around. I will get some pictures of it this week and post them up. Meant to do that on Saturday but was too involved driving the car and getting used to it again. The exhaust is way, way cool. It's really tame at idle but the motor actually sounds like something once you get going. I'm getting used to it---but like it a bunch so far. Need to get it aligned and ready for the Del Mar autocross coming up over Thanksgiving weekend---that should be a great time and will be a good first test for the car. Hats off to Brett---the work done so far has been top notch and very professionally executed. Couldn't be happier thus far---great, great work in getting it to sit the way I wanted it too. It's great to have it back and to be able to work on it again myself---it's half the fun for me. Thanks again Brett!!

Awesome words Doug! Look forward to hearing and seeing more. :thumbsup:

LOL---absolutely---240 was too much, pull about 40 out through the exhaust to get back to where we were before.

Great post Doug...it's re-FRESHing to hear about a build that came out even better than expected. :)

My rocker panel is lower:lmao:
Damm roofline isn't though:shakehead:

Very cool! Looks like a really nice set up there. I love the exhaust set up.
Good job Brett! Enjoy the new beast Doug!

Can't wait to hear this monster roar soon. :D

Brett, kick ass work man. :bigun2:

Bla Bla Bla Bla.....

Black just looks so right on this car with the way it sits. "Stance" is a perfect name.

Frickn looks awesome and CONGRATS!!

Thanks brother!! Looking forward to some serious seat time coming up. Hopefully this coming Saturday I will be able to attend Cars and Coffee and then take my usual 65 minute drive down the coast. It's been awhile.

Thanks Man----I will be taking some pics of the car this weekend and posting them up so you can see it on the ground. I think it came out really, really nice and couldn't be happier.
