Wow - my last update was 4 months ago...
A lot has happened since then.
First - I moved into our new house/shop. We closed on 7/28 - and I spent a solid month painting, installing lighting, and getting my air compressor setup.

Second - I have been waiting to work on any car projects until I get my lift setup - I got it all measured up and finally got my anchors today. I plan on getting that setup this weekend.
Third - The first project I plan on starting will be the CTS-V front and rear brake swap on the SS. I had the Front 6 piston brembos on my G8 - now that swap involved drilling out the iron spindles to make the brake to caliper bolts fit. I had been waiting to do this on the SS because I didn't want to do any big projects until I got the lift setup. Well I just found out the SS has the bigger holes in the aluminum spindles already - so its just a bolt on, ugh if I had only known! So I masked up the fronts and will paint them this weekend:

Fourth - I have been tracking these on ebay for 4+ months and finally bought one:
This is an LSA blower from a ZL1 / CTS-V. I got this lower blower half for a really good price. These blowers have coupling go bad inside the blower. GM doesn't want to spend the time to tear into them and replace a $40 part. Replace the OEM coupling with a CNC Delrin one - and boom you got a blower at a really good price.
Now this is going to be a long term project of collecting parts - as I still have a warranty on the SS for a few more years. I still need to get the intercooler/top lid - the pulleys and fuel rails and rest of the parts for this to be a complete bolt on.
Plus I need to get the E-Force installed on the Vette first!
