Here's a couple pics of the turbo system basically done. All thats left is finish welding the wastegate tubes... then the headers get black jet coated, and all the tubes are being powdercoated black.

The valve covers, inner fenders and core support are the old mock up ones.........The new "pretty" ones have yet to be intalled.

WOW! Very nice. I know it is not done, but it looks very clean under there.
I'm digging it!

Here's a quick update for you guys.....
The crossmember we bought sucked. It held the trans to high.. and wouldn't allow a big exhaust to be ran. So we built our own out of chrome molly. It came out pretty good. Camaro is painted.... and going through final assembly. We jet coated the headers and turbo exhaust housing.... quadra link is welded in place and painted... wiring has begun... the Marquez door panels are done suede and leather... the dash is leather upper and suede lower... roll cage is done and painted... ect.

She should be firing by the end of next week to go through the tuning process.

enjoy.

Crazy build man. I have to ask, why a stock subframe in such an upscale car?

lol......
To tell you the truth.. i would LOVE an aftermarket subframe... but there is a pretty tight budget on the car. Luckily.... I have had GREAT support from DCShoes, Marquez, IForged, Nitto, Digital Design, Comp cams, Bullseye Power, and my guys here at All Speed.
The build originally started out as a mild "cool" camaro... but once DC stepped in and made a donation... then came out with a SICK promotion campain... I opened my wallet and drained it to make it a bad ass build.
Quite frankly... i am running out of money. I have to pay my guys at the shop to work on it.. because when they are on my car.. they aren't making money from the shop... and three guys full time gets expensive.. even when im getting a SMOKING deal. lol.
The subframe is just too far over budget.
Don't get me wrong... an email with the whole promotion campaign was sent to try and get the baddest of the bad subframe.... but no reply. lol.
Can't win them all..... It will give me something to upgrade to in the future.

Trust me, I know the feeling. It's a giant snowball that really never ends.
