Nice build guys. Looks like its coming along great!

Thanks!!

Moving forward with the engine install, lots to do here. This shows the positioning pretty well in the ExtReme chassis. We make custom air intakes for each car, that way we can control exactly where and how we place the air filter. Note we had to machine the "whipple" logo off the supercharger for hood clearance. With some slight mods to the underside of the hood support this all fits under a stock hood!

Off to the side will be a custom air box that opens up to the grill area for cool fresh air. Up front we have a radiator, A/C condenser, intercooler, and uber heavy duty oil, power steering and trans coolers. Lots of plumbing on deck! Custom radiator support and brackets will be powdercoated silver to match the engine bay.

Everything looks so pro !
Maybe because you guys are professionals ? :confused59:

The GTO's brakes were feeling a little lonely, luckily the new wheels and tires finally showed up. Check out the impact that brushed nickel has, man that's a cool look! This car sports 295-30-19s up front and 345-30-20s out back.

Is brushed nickel a normal option or did you get special treatment ?
I looked into that a few years ago and Forgeline told me they quit offering it as it was a difficult and expensive treatment and they were dropping it as an option.

Obviously it looks great.

Same thing here...I called Forgeline and they told me the exact same thing.

The rim's hoops were done by a 3rd party. It is a pain in the rear process and very costly, but was a specific request for this build. I think Forgeline said the same to us.

A couple more pics of the cool, ...er, cooling parts. Dual fans, radiator, condenser, intercooler, then fluid coolers. Jeremy's still working on the plumbing and wiring so that'll all be routed and tucked in there nicely when he's done.
