Looking good and love the stripe scheme on the paint job. :thumbsup:

Cris@JCG 05-06-2013 11:01 AM

Thanks Al..

Today I am building one to install on a car to test function... If it works & can manufacture with less cost than what I have into it now... Yes!

Here is pic of all the components..

Cris,

Great meeting with you today, and having the pleasure of seeing this car in the flesh, that colour in real life is just stunning, as is the whole car.

Mel and I are looking forward to working with you on building a 69 in the near future.

Cheers

James

Cris@JCG 05-08-2013 09:24 PM

James- Thank you paying us a visit today.. It was great to see your wife plan the car with you.. We look forward to building your 69 & that one of our builds will be crusing the streets of New Zealand!

Firebird is almost done! Just in time for SEMA & will be in the Wilwood Engineering booth..

Machine shop brought in the LS valve covers to proof fitment on the 68 Firebird.. All fits good & now off to anodize & fabricate the baffle system inside the cover to keep the oil in engine when breathing from the ports.. All ports are O-ringed & we even made custom stainless mounting bolts..

Just got the latest issue of PHR and see both this Firebird and Blu Balz on the cover. Nice work Cris! The feature on the Firebird looks great.

Got to see it at SEMA, sweet car and well built. Nice job Cris and good to see you at Sema again.

Thanks Traven for the props! Nice that we got a double feature in PHR this month!

Very Nice Cris !

HBRod 08-07-2014 01:14 PM

Just found this thread and read through it. Very nice build and definitely lots of fabrication. The seats look interesting, did they also come from the GTO and were recovered?

Definitely nice work Chris.

Cris@JCG 08-07-2014 02:57 PM

Thank you sir! The seats are C5 Corvette..
