Another sweet Bird build. Keep posting up the pics. I really like your rendering. I'm a bit partial to a White TA though. Ha!

I found and saved that rendering a while ago. I like it a lot. My car probably doesn't deserve to be compared to it.

There have been a lot of new firebird builds lately. I enjoyed following your build. I hope you don't mind but I might copy your front air splitter setup down the road.

The Escalade engine has a deep truck pan. I bought a used f-body pan but it i noticed it had a small hair line crack. Luckily the seller was understanding(i think he knew it was cracked) and refunded me. its not easy to find good f-body pans anymore. I decided to repair it. I put a thin layer of RTV on the inside and Jb weld on the outside.

I could tig weld that for you if you were closer.

I like those baffles and I think one will make it into my build. Let me know what you think of the quality.

I've use improved racing's products in my last 3 builds.

I bought a used one and was very impressed with quality and fit. Its definitely worth the money in my mind.

I loved how unique the escalade gauges were in my chevelle. I really wanted to setup the BCM and use another set of factory set of gauges.

I had used the Dakota Digital Gauges on another project and decided to use them again to keep things simple.

Its a bad picture and they obviously havent been wired yet but I am happy with how they look. I also got the Bim-001 Module since I want to see the trans gears when manually shifting the 6l90.

Don't mind at all. You kidding me. It would be great to see another Bird with a splitter running around out there at events. Let me know if you need any pics or have any questions on it.
