I really like seeing these out-of-the-norm builds, very creative stuff again!

What's the story on the mid year vette lurking in the background? :thumbsup:

What plastic is that dye made from? Delrin or something harder?

This was made out of Delrin since it will only be used for 1 or 2 panels.

What's the story with the twin turbo camaro drag car???? :unibrow:

The Camaro is our Mechanic's project. He has is down at the shop to finish up the sheet metal work and plumbing on the turbo. It will be a 10.5" radial tire car with a 632 BBC making around 3,000 hp.

It is definitely fun getting to work on a unique ride like this and make something cool out of it.

The vette is a 67 that just came in for a full turn key build. It will be used to debut our new C2 Corvette chassis. This one is getting the IFS/IRS combo with a LS7/T-56. We haven't gotten too far into the details yet. There are a lot of real unique ideas being kicked around, just have to see if the owner will let us go after them! He is leaning towards a more original looking car, but like I said, discussions have just begun on the design. We just started on the car this week and got it disassembled and ready to be blasted. I'll start a build thread once it starts progressing.

This is going to be an awesome build. Love the fab work guys.

AWESOME,:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Keep me in the loop. I'm thinking about swapping a modern chassis under my 65 coupe as my next winter project. :thumbsup:

killer work guys:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Will do. Once the car is back from being blasted it should be about 4-6 weeks for the design and fixturing process. Once that is completed we will begin marketing the chassis as a production model with a lead time of 4-6 weeks from deposit until delivery.

Further stellar metal work. :hail: This is becoming my favorite build thread even if it is a Chevy.

Random observation, I only seen one craftsman tool box in all of your different

threads that Ive seen. Is it mandatory for your techs to have snap on ???? lol
