We knocked some things out this week. The body is in the final stages and looking great and headed for paint at the end of the week. We installed the engine and drive train and ran into a significant problem with header clearance between the heads and the frame rail. Pontiac heads drop on an aggressive downward angle which leaves very little room to work with. We notched the frame to give ourselves another 2”. We also needed to make custom solid motor mounts so that the engine sits low enough in the bay to give clearance for the intake. The turbos have been mocked up in their position and the plumbing will start tomorrow.

We installed the Wilwood brakes on the front. 14” rotors with their six piston package. I had Wilwood custom paint the calipers in a gunmetal gray that will match the center stripe down the middle. I like the way the brake package came together.

Wheels and tires are to arrive by the end of the week. Only 5 weeks left until SEMA!
