The standard Kook's size for an LS-conversion into a 1st gen is 1 7/8". I believe that Mark said earlier that he purchased the set unwelded so that he could assemble them the way that he wanted, likely optimizing clearances.

BTW, I have a brand new set of these which I just purchased but will be selling. I'm going a different route, haven't even opened the box yet. PM me if interested, I'll post an official for-sale ad next week.

SEMA Prep
 

I dropped my car off to the VanNus's Tuesday night to get "tuned up" for SEMA. I got to their house Saturday night late. The car looked great they had fixed all the road rash and track abuse from the summer.

So undaunted we loaded it up Sunday morning and took it back to Gingerman race way for the last testing.

The car is working great! They had us on the new longer course so the lap times aren’t comparable. We were blowing by C-6 Z06s like they were sign posts. Lots of fun. I ran the car hard and only found a couple small problems with ABS calibrations and high speed track use.

After logging about 50 miles on Gingerman we had to take the car back to the VanNus's house to clean it up and fix more paint chips. Joe did not look impressed. lol I took his perfect car and trashed it again. We were lucky with a very good weather so we washed it out in the driveway.

We had a small pile of rubber under the car after we scraped off the wheel wells.

When I left Paul and Joe were touching up paint chips again. Sorry guys. :thumbsup:

The car leaves for SEMA today. The car looks better than it did in June. :hail:

:lol:

How do you like the new pavement ? I was there in April .still under construction .
Crissy there ? My all time favorite flag person :unibrow:

What kind of times were you running on the old configuration ? Flying lap ?

that reminds me of our last session at Thunderhill in Charleys Mustang with you driving. We were flying through the field, picking off everyone at ease, like being in the zone. :thumbsup:

Are you keeping Joe and Paul on retainer for touch-ups? :lol:

Jody

HA HA! I love it. I can only imagine the people driving the C6 Z06's. Getting passed by a '69 Camaro?!!? lol So awesome!!
Glad to hear Mark.:thumbsup: :cheers:

I think I'm testing Joes' easy going nature with all my antics.:_paranoid

We kept joking “that will buff out”. The car looks awesome they did a great job fixing a summer of abuse.

Joe is the man with that wheel.
