Nice Touch with that shifter and the Steering Wheel.

Moving the rear floor back to clear the rear diff due to ride height. Plus we need to make a place to hang reservoirs for the RideTech triple adjustable coilovers.

In this picture you can see our LS2 ECU bracket has been cut to fit on the inside of the firewall to make mounting it simple. We have a really cool looking budnik steering wheel and the Twist Machine shifter looks right at home.

Man those lines you guys laid out under that Tilton unit are bitchin. I like the one that snakes around the column mount. I bet you guys could cnc something of a lid for that thing, but I don't see it being that big of an issue. Scuff it and shoot it matte black if need be. Cool build.

That's the plan. We did the clear reservoir to be able check the fluid easy and not have to use a mirror and a flashlight to try and see inside to check fluid.

Thanks

We've had that discussion more than once!

But it's still the ugliest reservoir in the universe.


If your regulator falls out == we're NOT buddy breathing!

We all have to grow up at some point.

Yeah we will be diving together a few times. But I already have a scuba buddy, so the buddy breathing shouldn't be an issue. Haha
