On a different note, this is still getting worked on. It's a test mule for the most part. Better IRS tax deduction that way .

We swapped out the EZ EFI for an aftermarket intake with a GM computer to control it all. All the F.A.S.T stuff is going back. Dyno says 627hp for this car.

The original destroked motor for this is running via dual carbs and a Ford distributor and going into a 35 Chevy on an all aluminum AWD corvette suspeneded chassis... yah, a Winter's quick change differential, with C7 suspension in the front, with the original Forgelines in this thread. My wife wants a race car.

My shop also took orders to build 5 of these, so we're motoring on those. Granted, they got connect and cruise LS7's, with a cam swap to get more HP and more fun, but the rest of the cars are wide body, carbon fiber affairs. C7 front suspension with a different vendor's sub frame and IRS. Hot rods with a 36 month, 36K mile warranty? Yep.

Building 5 at a time is a lot of fun .

I am heading to the shop today to work on my own projects. This is getting Fesler flush mount glass... might as well just suck up the ship times. Might get better with 6 orders? Who knows.

My best to everyone out there. Life's been busy.

So Martin called me today.

Remember the original motor we built for this, the "DZ331" based on an LS2?

It was replaced with (pictures).

I also have a complete C7 Corvette Chassis, that motor, an engine and trans from a TBSS and a 34 Chevy body... do you smell what I am cooking? Yep, AWD street rod on the Forgelines I posted earlier in the thread.

11 projects going, one just might get finished!

Yeah, had to use other means to get his attention.

So, we pulled the steel off the front of this car, to go carbon fiber... everything.

Fitting it all up. It's not easy. We had to make some of our own pieces. Of course, everything's painted now and going on.

I do need to replace the door handles. It fits my 2017 Corvette Z06 wheels nicely.

The red TA is in for the same treatment. Our 9th build like this. It's really nice working with vendors like DSE and AME here at BRE. Maybe my customer, the owner of the GT350 will show you what we did with it.
