Chris, thanks for all the help while out in CA buddy.... It's great to have you on board with the WarPath project and I'm very excited with the prospects of our future combined endeavors on the mentioned parts as well as the non-mentioned parts...

Chris is an exceptionally talented rising builder that will certainly show us all some terrific products in the near future!!!!

Hi thanks for the interest and sorry not updating ..... I've been traveling and attended the Optima Ultimate street car challenge in LA but now that I'm back here is the latest overview/news on the build....

The stock sub-frame is in the fabricating shop for major modifications and the car will follow on Wednesday.... Some of the mods will include moving the motor down and back within the car and the addition of DSE mini tubs.... We will be lightening the sub-frame and this will be followed with a Kevlar & Carbon fiber wrapping for a little additional strength,,, however it is principally for aesthetics.....

The interior of the car will receive a cage and the additional floor and firewall mods prior to being sent to our body crew....

T&M auto will be provided another mule/car that I own to to begin mocking their full on custom interior panels that they will be simultaneously worked on at their shop and that will be fitted into WarPath at a later point in the build...

The full "Air Tech" engineered suspension system was delivered in my absence and we will be mocking the suspension on the car upon completing the sub-frame and mini tub mods to the base shell...

Lastly, the Carbon fiber plugs are finished and the molds are being made as we type....

I will attempt to start posting photos of the build later this week and as we start to really thrash at this car over the next few months I'll do my best to keep you all up to date with photos....

Again thanks for the interest....

Sub-Frame
 
Albert we have been working hard on getting these frame rails done for Warpath!! JME Enterprises will be paying us a visit in the next couple of weeks so that we can get his Pro Series suspension between the second gen frame rails.. I figured I would tease you with some of the results we have so far :cheers:

This looks like a great project and I will be keeping my eye on this build. Great to see a few second-gen Pontiac builds this year. Keep the pictures coming!

JME Enterprises suspension
 
Julio from JME Enterprises stopped by the shop today & dropped off a corner of his front suspension so that we can get this fitted in the second gen frame rails we are designing.. This is a real trick looking front suspension!! Lots of billet machined pcs. :D

WOW!!! Very cool. Maybe a stupid question,...is it getting welded or bolted in?! THANKS!!:thumbsup:

Cris@JCG 03-11-2010 06:57 PM

Steel fabricated brackets will be threaded that weld on the frame rails & that will bolt the billet machined pcs in place..
