I think the Cadillac has a bit more room than the Chevy though the car I was speaking of was a 57 Chevy with LS3 and 2 small turbos. Has stock 5th gen Camaro manifolds in original orientation with up pipes sweeping up and forward into the turbos.

Looking forward to your chassis pics
NICE!! Got any photos of that one?



Minion #1 has some awesome body working skills. This was a surprise to me. Body and paint guys have been a thorn in my side ever since I got into the Hot Rod business and to have a good one working for me will make my life much easier in the long run.

Originally I was telling him to go easy since its only a 4 door and tons of body work won't be worth anything in the long run but I started thinking about it and decided what the heck. Go nuts. Make it as nice as you want so we can see what he can really do and so far it amazing!!!! I just wish I could have him for more than 10 hours a week. I mean, LOOK AT THOSE DOOR JAMS!!! Its going to be gorgeous when he's done.

This is the first round of primer on the quarters. I didn't want him blowing time or mud on the stuff under the fin but we decided later that we didn't need a place for water to just sit and fill up.



This is a TFC4-S4, TriFive C4 Stage 4 Rolling Chassis we're working on along with many other project in the shop.



All by hand as well. He has only touched a single power tool the whole time and this is after the second round of primer.






Later
