Welcome to the site. Where in GA are you located? I'm from GA and am trying to move back to the ATL and mountain region. I love it there. I just need to find an engineering job first.

Love what you're doing with the Chevelle. Do you have plans to build the engine or just run with what it has to offer stock?

Thanks! I'm in Dawsonville, about 1 hour north of ATL. As far as my engine goes, I worked with Mast Motorsports to "pick it up a tad". I'll cover more of the engine side a little later. It's a pretty mild LY6.

I like Dawsonville. Gorgeous area. I've been through there a few times and loved it. You're not far from AMP. Any plans to visit or have you visited already?

Don't worry about the added weight. Just add more power to bring the power to weight ratio back towards your goal

Trey, I am up in the N. western part of the county, just a couple of miles from Amicalola Falls. It is a beautiful place to live, for sure.
Glad you mentioned AMP. I have been, in fact my son, who is 9, is a big fan of exotics, so we go over there to check out the lambos, and ferrari's. Itis quite a place, and I'm amazed they chose this area to build it.
I'm a very weight conscious guy. The cage would place weight high...exactly where I don't need any more with this boat.

We will see.

The chassis in paint.

One small step for man, one giant step for me. Now I can start building my roller! Paint doesn't look too bad for an electrician. I will not spray the body.

Put my lower motor mounts in place, and front suspension arms on. I did not buy lowers that were designed for coilovers, so I knew all along I'd be modding my lowers. I wasn't sure how far I'd have to go, until I nailed down my ride height. I'm using 7" stroke shocks.

When I left GA, AMP was still embroiled in legal battles. I had forgotten about it until recently when I heard it was finally built and open. I'm glad it seems to be working out. Road Atlanta is also in a very pretty area of the state. I hope to do some HPDE classes one day at either or both. Maybe even track days on my motorcycle

I can't wait til I return home.
