I'm gonna try to make it, I'll be the guy that looks out of place wearing a sling.

As for the engine I'm leaning pretty hard towards an LS3... we'll see where my money ends up in the next few Months

No new progress on the car...

I am however able to get out of my sling when I'm sitting around or typing on the computer which makes life much easier.

Here are some better pics of the rear clip

Everything inside me wants to slam my vendor for not getting my axles and third member to me yet, but I'm not going to hopefully that person reads this and realizes he's only losing business for the future. It’s only been 7 months since I ordered maybe I'm being impatient.

The rear clip looks great John. Sorry you have to wait so long for your parts. Hopefully they show up soon. Good luck!:thumbsup:

it appears as tho my Vendor has been kicked from Pro-touring .com.... apparently Im not the only person who is waiting on parts...

still not going to drop names I'm sure people can figure out who he is.

Sorry to jack your thread. I have been waiting on a brake kit for coming on seven months as well:mad: I am sure this is the same vendor, but the thing I don't understand is when I get in contact they tell me the package is pretty much ready to go, just need to get in touch with wilwood. fast forward a month, and now there is a problem with anodizing! Think its time to ask for our hard earned money back???

johnnymac46 05-28-2011 06:10 PM

I received an email saying my stuff will ship Tuesday... I'm not holding my breath

If it doesn't come this time I'm getting my money back... Or maybe a vacation to Florida is in stead;)

Hope you get your parts soon. Looks good so far John!

Thats nice looking rear clip.

Thanks for the kind words everyone!

I should be able to get some work done later on this week, I can move my arm more now so I can at least crawl under the car. I've got a lead on a Plasma cutter I can use. I should have the frame mocked up this week. I'm not going to weld it in yet as I am still waiting to order new floors.

I've been talking with Virginia Speed (Local engine builder) about building an LS3. I plan to get that ordered sometime this summer or early fall before my deployment.

I wont be driving it anytime soon and thats a reality I'm willing to deal with to get it right and the way I want it.

I plan to make my way out to Cars and Coffee. Hope to see some of the locals and put a face to the names.

Hopefully you get your money back so you can move on with your build John. Great looking rear clip.
Good luck!
