As others have said, the pride really shows on this masterpiece. Watching the front part of the trans tunnel go toghether in your pictures was just incredible.

One question - at one point you showed a panel that closed out the tunnel to the firewall, overlapping the tunnel. In the next picture, it was one smooth piece (after welding and grinding). Did you trace out the opening from underneith, cut the patch to fit, and then butt-weld it in?
Correct only I scribed it from the top. I try to crawl under the car as little as possible. Thanks for the compliment.

Finished mocking up the exhaust today. Pretty happy with it, nothing below the frame. Got alot of welding to do now.






JCG's trick hangers to hold the tips steady in the rear diffusor.

If you have to take it to your local Chevrolet dealer for repairs while its still under warranty, I believe they will be very grateful... and impressed.

Jason I really admire your attention to detail. What you have built here is truly art and thank you for sharing it all.

I can't help but ask this, is there anything so far that you would have done differently if you could do it over?

Do you have any goof pieces laying around on the shop floor for sale???
