Let the games begin.. work starts on Penny transformation
 

I have a sufficient pile of parts to start the process of turning Penny in a road warrior.. I'm just so damn ready to have a car to drive.. HARD! lol

Here you can see the 21st Century Street Machine Subframe, C5 parts, double adjustable Varishocks and AGR rack/pinion.. woot!

I have figured out my LS2 woes, the special T56 is in the house and brakes are on the way from Wilwood.. Afco is busy making the radiator and parts are flowing in.

Car is at a great shop in San Diego (Best in Show) and the she is just about ready for the new firewall and larger trans tunnel. After that she is off to party in Vegas with the guys at ATS then back here to get the front sheet metal hung.

So many details to keep track of but at least there's progress :thumbsup:

:thumbsup: Great job Steve.

Jody

Know your other cars, this one will be just as good.

Good luck with your project, can't wait to hear you tear up the track with it.

I love those 21st CSM subframe connectors.

It going to a keeper can't wait to see more. :bow:

Steve, What front sheet metal, When you shipped it out a few weeks back in had the front fenders on it. What are we talking about here? Why a new firewall? Did you have to move it back to fit the new engine?

Questions, questions, questions....

P.S. Its my feeling the R&D of a project is the most fun next to drving the car when finished.

R.P.

Its 1am where I am at right now and I hope you are assembling your parts, I want to know how the ride with the new C5 sub will be! :captain: And soon!

Awesoime Steve. :thumbsup: Keep us posted.

Sounds like you had an awesome Christmas!

Well, you know how I just can't leave well enough alone :)

we pulled the front sheet metal and we are completely smoothing the firewall.. the only remaining holes will be for the MC and the steering column, even the wire block is gone. the inner fenders and firewall will be shot in body color. I also have a core support closeout coming from DSE. I haven't decided what color I am gonna paint it.

The only mods needed for the subframe was a slight enlarging of the trans tunnel for the T56 (21st Century supplies the pre-formed parts).

The shop just recieved in their new tool to cut heavy gauge steel so my firewall should start next week.

As she sits now..
