Ride height wasn't set yet and we had a bit of a rub .... well... all over. LOL

In the spirit of full disclosure, I did manage to get the car stuck on the world's smallest curb... in front of my house. haha

I'm sure she is going to be killer when the kinks are worked out though. Could always park her on the street I suppose... NOT!

Yea, there's always that.

I don't think one inch higher on all four corners will make that big of a difference in stance to be honest.

I think a while back someone asked for a start up video... well... how about a video of the very first start up?!?!

How's this? It shocked the crap out of me that it actually started on the first crank over haha!

Might want to turn your speakers down, i haven't put the exhaust on it yet.

Video! I don't see no stinkin video! lol
I love the job you did on the install. That motor looks so sweet in there, and good Idea with the blocks to drop the cross member. Also enjoyed the curb out front of the house. This stuff happens to me all the time. Nice Job!

That must have been a sweet feeling hearing it for the first time. Congrats!

Thanks Wayne! It really was nice to see it kick over and stay running at the very first crank


UPDATE:

Finally getting some noticeable progress from the body shop after they fixed a bunch of junk that had been neglected. Car got an alignment, raised about an inch to clear my driveway LOL.

I was shocked to hell that my 'eyeballed' front frame install was laser checked to within 1/10th of 1 degree. We don't need no stinking tape measurers!!! HAHAH!!

Anywhoozle, to the photos



Doing some custom stripes, the paint scheme should match the wheel lip brushed metal finish

I thought I was clever and the first to think of this idea... that is until I noticed the 2012 Camaro at the dealership have the EXACT same stripe pattern... that I literally drive by everyday for the past 2 years.... so much for originality lol.






Exhaust is next, most likely this week the car should be wrapped up and tagged for the street!! w00t!!

Here's the general lay out for the stainless exhaust
