Damn I love the detail in the machining!
I wish I could get the hang out solid works. I'm steady in CAD but teaching myself Solidworks is proving to be difficult

Thanks guys!! We got plenty more one off parts for this bird!

We tubbed it & moved the frame rails to gain about 3 inches & loosen the qtr panel face to move it a bit to get these tires underneth it.. Have not tubbed a 2nd gen yet to answer that question for you, but I am sure that somebody else on this site can answer that one for you..

I have been trying to convince the owner for us to superchagre his LS2, but won't budge yet..

GM's latest way to connect fuel lines & some hydraulic lines have a plastic quick disconnect fitting, especially the hydraulic thow out bearing on a T56 transmisson. We wanted to keep the quick disconnect on the thow out bearing but needed for it to be able to run a flexline for AN -4 fitting. Solution.. We machine up an aluminum fitting!!! Pic are not that great but hope you can see what what we did.. Also will looking @ better way to get to the top bleeder on the throw out bearing.. Got plenty more custom fittings coming for this build.. We will be plumbing in the next couple of weeks!!
