Looking good Cris. I think this is still my favorite build right now. Can't wait to see it done.

It has been awhile since we had any updates on the Firebird.. Sorry! Here is the latest on this build.. Getting the engine bay assembled & detailed.. Still designing a few more pcs…

Got a new power steering reservoir we will be making tomorrow.. just got pcs from the machine shop.. The pass side reservoir is a new air oil separator that we will be testing on a car next week.. just used the bird for mock up..

Got the new brake reservoirs that Wilwood is now making…

The factory oil dip sticks needed some cosmetic enhancement… Use the factory tube.. cut it & silver solder a new end with shortened tube…. Cut the dip stick indicator & use our new t-handle…

Chris thats some great work on this car,Do you guys sell those dipsticks for an ls3?sure would save me some time.

waynieZ 05-03-2013 08:45 PM

Very nice Chris!

Cris@JCG 05-05-2013 10:26 AM

We made a few extra prototypes... Just need put a plan together on how to offer these dip sticks for sale.. More than likely I will buy LS3 ones from GM & do the work in house to offer it as a complete item we sell.. need to get manufacturing cost this week to be able to have end user pricing..
