since the car was built by Mark Stielow who is a suspension engineer, other than powdercoating the pieces I pretty much left it as he had it. I did add braces to the upper control arm points on the frame, and many guys box in the frame for added rigidity. There is a welded in rollbar which ties the body up some which also helps in the overall package.

that is a 4L80E trans. I added a paddle shifter from http://www.twistmachine.com/

thanks Marty.

That engine looks killer! I'm not a carbon fiber expert, but do you know if they will take the heat put off by those headers? Maybe some heat shields on the backside of the headers would be nice.

Tony

Thanks Tony. That is a question I had, and Jon has a newer resin out for the covers that takes higher heat and I will be swapping to them. I had also planned a heat shield or wrapping the pipes in that area also.

Jody,
your fabrication and attention to detail is first class all the way brother :hail:

thanks Rich, much appreciated.

Jody

When are you having a auto-x in your driveway?

Looks great Jody,

Are you still trying to make SEMA?


Joe

no SEMA for the Chevelle. Trying to make Power Tour 08 which may be trouble enough! :D
