Vince should be done installing them in the next few weeks. ( Vince are you reading this??) I will be posting some pics later this evening for your viewing enjoyment. I don't have a rendering just yet.
Yep, Im here, just happened to be finishing up with this weeks spread sheets and getting my purchase orders ready for the up coming projects.

I know Greg has been through the wash with other builders so I will do my best to keep progress going at a resonable pace. I'll throw as many pictures that I can up as well. I have a few parts ready to go into CAD for my machinist and many will be as innovative as we can get them. I just wish I had a Lassy trained metal fabricator to come down and lend a hand. I have a bunch of cool tools and equiptment to work with and always have 3 filled argon tanks ready to go in the shop. All of which are paid for might I add.

This should be a pretty fun project for us and we hope it builds interest and momentum for his charity.
Right now we are going through the strip down so we can get it ready for the media blaster for an underside,interior and firewall clean up.

Some of the features to come:

Modify firewall and space for the Peterson dry sump oil tank
raised floor and widen transmission tunnel
modifying and relocating the factory floor supports
notching the frame and DSE tubs to clear the monsterous rear end from The GMR.

Here is the car the way we received getting prepped for the DSE subframe connector installation.
enjoy
