Wow. Blue and black combo is awesome looking. Really digging the grey underhood too.

What tires are those?

Great underhood details

Looking good Cris. This should be a great build.

So tempted to say something R-rated, but I'll let you Cris...:threadbump:

Ron- How about a few detail pics that you will never see.. That can speak in a few words...

Looking good Chris.

Thanks Alan! Looking forward to seeing that Vette soon.. Insane work as usual from Palmer Customs..

Cris,:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

KILLER work! Have to be honest, don't like the oil lines right above the exhaust collector in that close proximity. Heat sleeve them at the least.

Awesome stuff there Cris!

Thanks Todd.. It was not the ideal place for the oil lines but it was tough finding a spot for them especially where I placed the oil tank.. But I wanted the tanks feed point to be high so that gravity could keep the the oil feed to the engine.. Looked @ it last nite.. We will fab some stainless sheild to help with heat & keep direction of oil from falling in top of the header if we ever get a leak..

Thank you Sir!

Today I had some help from my friends! Ken R was getting all the hoses on the A/C system plumbed & Dennis W was wiring the coil packs that have been relocated.. Most of the interior panels have been made & the headliner got installed yesterday..

Ken Witney from Wire 1 has been chipping away on the all the wiring requirements on the car..

Ohhhh Man!!!! I'M in love!!!

That shot right there, is the ****!!! Love it love it love it!!! I was telling my wife this week i was thinking of doing the new 69 in a blue with the Forgelines that are on it with maybe a black stripe and maybe change the center of the wheels to black instead of the gunmetal...and now i see your car!!! The only thing,,,,it looks MUCH better than i was seeing in my head!!

It looks soooo all business!!! Can you tell i like it??!! Lol!!!

I had not seen it with the firewall done and the colour on too....Very nice, keep it up!.... Now i need a new plan...

Lead.

Great color combo, all the black fittings look great. Going to be a nice car for sure

Gotta love the Blue!! Though I'm partial to LeMans blue! :unibrow:

..I still can't believe this is/was Tyler's Grandma grocery getter Chicane! Great job Cris!

Wow awesome job! Great color and wheel combo. Can you tell me which model are the forgelines and are they matte or satin black? Forgeline website has both for an color option. I thought they are the same. Looking forward to seeing the completed car at Sema. :thumbsup:

Scott

Looks awesome Cris- nice work- thanks for the inspiration:D

Looks awesome!!

Don't forget to swap those front wheels... the tires are going the wrong way!!! :lol:

They are the ZX3 in Matte black..

Car looks great Cris. When do you expect this car to be done?
Keep us posted.

Here we go Todd.. We did this this morning... the stainless will shield the heat & it will draw the oil to the sides if we ever get a oil leak..

http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/...n/IMG_1593.jpg

So underdash wiring pics...

http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/...n/IMG_1594.jpg

I have to wire my car just looking at that gave me a head ache.

Excellent Job Chris! :cheers:

Use AAW. It's easy. :rolleyes:

'course I shouldn't talk smack. I haven't flipped the on switch yet and the wiring I did may go poof. :lol:

tik tok tik tok :) be in, in a few to give helping hand!

Cris I can't believe I won't be in Vegas this year to see this bad mofo. I really love the color combo you nailed it!! Would'nt expect anything less from you!!!:faint:

it totally blows my mind how well every piece of this car compliments the next piece and works together without being too busy or tacky. awesome job!

Sorry to here that you will not be making it to SEMA this year Mario.. but you will get to see alot of this car next year when it goes home.. It will be @ all the race events & I will be their too..

Thank you! The owner & I were after a mechanical/race look..

We are still hammering away on assembly.. I can't believe that I am still plumbing.. This morning we had to build another shield on the driver side to protect the cooler lines to the block...

http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/...n/IMG_1600.jpg

Great stuff guys!!!! The attention to detail here is just incredible!!!

Really love the color combo , and all the pieces you guys machined gonna love seeing this thing at Sema

Looking forward to seeing this car. Great attention to detail :thumbsup:

Thanks Guys! Please make sure you stop by & introduce yourselves @ SEMA..

Here is a pic of our billet flush mount tail lights.. One of my favorite pcs. on the exterior..

http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/...n/IMG_1604.jpg

Car looks amazing! I almost went with a similar location for my coils but decided to change it for fear of throwing a serpentine belt and slicing the plug wires. I know it is rare to break a belt but...

I can understand your reason for not putting the coils in my location.. I was more worried about getting caught in a rain storm.. So, we built this covers to protect the coils from getting wet.. We need to paint them black..

Here is another pic of a shield we built for the oil lines on the side of the block plus it also keeps heat away from the wiring for the engine.. Take a look @ the bottom of the bellhousing.. It is a Mcleod.. I knew we were going to run the car low.. the lower portion of the bellhousing was the lowest point.. so we grabbed a stock f-body bell housing & a modified it look like the stock one.. Plus a notch for header clearence..

http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/...n/IMG_1606.jpg

nice touch on the bell, what oil pan is that again? stock f body?

STock LS7 oil pan with a Aviaid Oil Pan Baffle Kit...

My machinist just brought the dash plate over to proof fitment..

This dash is going to lay out just right for function & sight!!
