I'm probably as scared of the new LT engine as I was of the LS engine 15 years ago.

No part number for the all in one mount every thing to anything bracket. I'm in the patent phase right now.

There is nothing to be scared of. They all suck squeeze bang and blow.

Then we mocked up some Aero Latches. Warning the carbon ones they sell are just painted plastic to look carbon even though they are 20 bucks more.


I like this. I'll be putting some aero-latches on mine as well as I KNOW my coolers dont leave room for a latch. Sacrificed the stock latch for IC size. Worth it. I like how those look on the corners. That all you're going to run or considering any further in?

He did the mini tubs and aligned all the sheetmetal along with the front and rear suspension install. This really sped up the process for us so we could stay focused on the work we had in the shop and satisfy and already happy customer.
I follow your sheetmetal guy on instagram. He is definitely a top notch fabricator. I drool over all the metal finishing, good thing my phone won't cause rust.

I don't think the OE tank will fit there with the secondary tank.

The OE tank wont fit there even without the extra tank. Its too tall and would require quite a large access door for the dipstick and top connections in the top of the fender. The tank will be going up front just like we planned. ( only without the bungee cord ) We have some ideas on ways to complete the package that the customer and I think will look good.

Only his opinion matters.

If you make that spoiler in Aluminum, count me in for one for my 67. That piece is a work of art.
