WOW LOOKS REALLY COOL. But are you really going to race that chassis in just over 3 weeks from today? Wow if you make it I will buy you a beer of Root beer if you not 21.

Also take lots and lots of pics of the rolling chassis, you will be glad you did. I did studio shots or mine and it was worth it.

Good luck, and good luck without sleep.

That frame is killer but man, you have a TON of work to do in the next two weeks!!! :wow:

You driving the truck in the challenge? Man, I can't wait to see this thing done! :thumbsup:

Nice project, always love anything incorporated with the corvette suspension.
Looks like you know your way around solid works pretty good. Good luck on your deadline.

Lets just say I love pressure, and monster. :thumbsup:

Huge power outage took out a bunch of the lights in the shop and put us to a stand still for a few hours, that was fun.

Cross that with a problem on our transmission (thanks McLeod, for the headache) that's why the cabs not on, the transmission needs a few parts mocked up with the body off and right now, the transmission is still in pieces on the bench. I think Mark at Forte Parts has a shifter mover that will work for our project. Will keep posted here.

A few quickly taken photos, no, we're not normally this messy and I'll get Brianne to take some good ones before we drop the cab on.

The Vintage Air Pulley system. This thing is awesome. It came with a water pump and the lower balancer.

Exhaust all warped up to keep heat in the exhaust

Cab and other parts all painted up waiting on the chassis.

New production diff adapter, I almost have a price on these for you guys.

I need to get back over here. Brianne, our driver, works for us part time doing oddball jobs, photography and abusing my cars so I can watch them break and fix the weak points. You might be able to tell which photos she took and the ones I took considering she's has a degree in photography.
