Good Job.

I notice you have the aluminum bodied struts from DSE with the JRI shock insert. You will want to get with Kyle at DSE to exchange this for the Steel bodied version they have now. The aluminum bodied version should be fine on the street, but will break under race loads. I know ... I've seen us do it. LOL (Stolen from a Ron White Comedy CD).

The new Steel Bodied version is what we use in all of our 3rd Gen Camaro & Firebird front suspension packages in our Catalog on pages 66-69 HERE.

Best wishes.

Thanks for the heads up. I bought the struts over a year ago and if it was a option I was unaware of it. Thanks again.

It was not an option a year ago. They only came aluminum bodied. Now, after we had one break, they are not available in the aluminum body any more. Only steel.

I started on the exhaust and with limited space I decided to go with a large single.

I also took a pic while it was on the ground.

Nice work on the stainless--a single is staying true to form with the car! Great work so far!

Nice! Those look like the super deep concave Forgestars...

How far back did you push the engine back?
