Looks awesome Jeff. Wish we could have made it by there to check it out when we were there for Woodward. Can't wait to see it done. What kind of wheels are you going with??

What wheels are those? Look familiar but I can't place it.

Are you guys nuts!! I wouln't give 5 bucks for that POS. It dosen't even have paint or a front end. My guess is that probably doesn't run. NO SEATS!!! DUUUUUHHHHH. I post my 78 nova with rust on it, Since that seems to be what impress you guys. At least it runs.

You're a funny guy, Ray.

Jeff....lookin' good.

Hey, maybe next year if our cars are done we can have a rematch of our famous race in that industrial park over by Gratiot.

Although I've seen what those LS7's can do. I'm gonna need some cars and a leave or no dice.

Looks fantastic Jeff!

Thanks guys, appreciate the comments (except yours, savage, I mean, come on, can't you come up with a new name. You've had savage johnson since we were in 9th grade) Anyway, I'm sure you've all figured out that the brakes are C6 ZO6. If you do the math, even with the ats spindles, these things are very reasonable. I'll let you all know what it takes to mount the rears. We're in the middle of making mounts to use the factory ZO6 parking brake. Once there built we can produce the mounts for anyone that wants to run these breaks. I think I'll have around $3500 including the spindles in the whole setup! I know this is only my opinion, but I think these things are way cooler looking and probably better performing than most aftermarket setups out there for the same or probably less money. As far as the wheels go, I'm going with Boze alloys (ZE forged) "mesh" 3 piece, with black center. I know a lot of people are starting to think the black centers are starting to be played out, but I still think they will look the best.

Tony, sorry I missed you at that party saturday night. I got home with plans to come back and go, but just crashed once I got home. I was out there like 8 out of 9 nights-crazy. I don't even remember that race, who won? What were we driving? Anyway, I hope this things all it's cracked up to be, I think it will be. I got a ride in a Katech built ZO6 and although he couldn't really lay into it, it definetely felt impressive. How's your car coming?

Oh, cool! I was already planning on those for my 442, but since I hade made the decision, I think I forgot what they looked like. Maybe I need my head examined.
