BD,

Any plans to check out some vendors who could do one offs like the SSII's?

I had talked to Jason Rushforth about the idea a while back and he told me he could actually make something pretty close from his Concept IIs as I had mentioned before. I actually had a concept of it that he sent me a year or so ago...may be time to give Jay a call and see what he could do!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

You should call me, Dave! My ears were burning! Thanks for thinking of us and considering or wheels. We pulled the Concept II from the website and catalog because it wasn't a huge seller and want to keep the selection somewhat trimmed down without trying to have 50 different styles but we still have the program and can make it any size you want.

Ah christ...I am writing a PM to you now!!! Hahaha...I was recalling the talk we had...I will send the PM and we can go form there...haha. :unibrow:

Here was something along the lines of what I was thinking...sorry for using a pic off your page, Jay. I'll pull it off if need be.

Just a quick photo-chop I did tonight of what I would like to see on this car. Love the ratedX, jury is still out on it though.

What do you all think?

Cool build!:thumbsup:
Subed..

you are going to LOVE the LY6- we just did the swap like you with the LS3 intake, stock heads, not as much cam and this car pulls hard!!! enjoy:D

I grabbed the short block off a local buddy of mine, he was in the VERY low 11s driving his Chevelle to and from the track...he believed he had way too much cam in the thing so I did some research and went with something noticiably smaller but from what I have found I am think I made the right choice.

Right now I am fighting some tuning issues with her since I never did the tuning on a fuel injected motor before so it is keeping me from driving it. That, and I didn't register her yet....hahaha.

Youth, you have a PM!

Dave

A little bit of progress...been doing body work when I have a free second. First time really doing this but I am pretty happy how it is turning out. This car is going to be a nice driver that I can say I did all myself in my garage..........and driveway...haha.

Here's a quick couple of shots showing how messed up the original fender was...I do not have anything currently showing the true ****tiness of the original fender but this gives you an idea of at least one of the repairs needed:

Yes I know it is a bit orange peeled but this was literally rattle can special that is purpose mixed by the local shop. It is 2006 GTO Torrid Red. An odd thing happened as I got a gallon of it a few weeks ago that was supposed to be Torrid Red...it is way darker...not sure what was going on there but this is MUCH more obnoxious!!!

More to come! :thumbsup:
Dave

Nice work Dave!
