Sad, but true...:lol:

Ok, so no pics but here's an update. Pretty much got to the end of my list @ JCG. Cris has alot of projects in the shop and SEMA will be here before we can blink so it was time to move the car outta there.

Seems like I do everything 3x and I'm still stuck in this mode but hopefully not for long. Also having painted or powdercoated parts drives some compromise. There was still some fab to be done and Mr. Fab53 offered to step in so off to his shop the car went. Brett squared the car every which way possible and rewelded the sub. Should be undercoat touched up by end of week. Brett is also fab'ing my subframe downbars to connect to my sub and double as a swaybar mount. This will save the p-coat. Brett's also adding a removable 5th diagonal link to my rollbar for added saftey.

In other news, with the car at ride height the rear wheels rubbed. I think this was caused more by my rear end width than the wheels ordered wrong (5.5" BS). I want it to sit right, so I took my rear over to Speedway for some mods. Also, had an offer to buy my wheels so I sold them and spoke to Frank. He gave me a smokin deal on some GW3s which get me to 19 in the rear. Unfortunately there is no good 100 TW option in 335/19 so I went w NT05s for now (da*n!); only other option is 30TW and I may go there after the Nittos get ground down. Wheels and tires should be in by end of next week and rear will be at the p-coater by then also.

We also need to do some rear shock relo to eliminate bind (not sure how that happened?) and trunk relief mods for exhaust clearance. This should be done by next week as well.

Once all this is done we start to put the car back together. The only thing left to do before wiring really is finish the oiling routing and motor breathing, do the final connection for fuel, brakes and clutch. Hoping to get all this done in the next 30 days.

Here's a fun milestone. I actually 'sat' in my car for the first time ever:

Pics and details soon guys...:cheers:

I used to sit in mine and drink beer before it ran. I'd day dream about mowing down all my friends. Sometimes dreams come true. :lol:

You never seize to get a chuckle out of me :lol:

And that...is where the name came from :rofl: :rofl:

Good to hear the progress continues. Those cobra seats are the business. I think we all sit in our car at one point or another and day dream. for me I just hope I still fit in the seats by the time is done.

Good stuff Ron, good old 1 step forward, 3 steps backwards. :lol:

Hey Ron- sounds like progress to me, got have a plan before you can get her done :thumbsup: So whats the concensus on the ls7 breathing/pcv system? Going with breathers or tanks or maybe both?

Rich

Sometimes the bait is just too tempting. :rofl:


Ron -- so what are the 4th set of wheels gonna be? :_paranoid :D

I hope my new wheels don't rub! Ron/Todd, that's the first thing I'm going to do when I get my car back in the garage, mount the drivers seat, grab a brewhaha and park my azzzzz in it. I need a fix!:cheers: Ron, that is one cool ride you've got there, can't wait to see it in person one day.

Great to hear things moving along Ron. 30 days lol - I can only hope you are right on that one and no hickups. No doubt with Brett on the job he'll knock it out for sure where the fab is concerned. Keep us posted!
