Ummm don't you need a car as well??

So, I drove 1500 miles starting Friday, got there Saturday in time for a good Burrito. Left my Camaro, a boat load of parts, my 2012 GMC Sierra and my 32' all aluminum trailer with Scott and flew out today, in time to watch the Patriots take out the Broncos.

After meeting Scott and seeing his shop, I know he's the right person to:

• Gut the car, it drove off the trailer.
• Build a front sub-frame with C6 suspension, Flaming River rack and pinion and ride tech 3 way shocks that mounts a LS3 and TR6060. I brought motor mounts, trans mounts, rear differential mounts, sub frame mounts and a whole lot more.
• Install a complete stainless exhaust.
• install the ride tech tiger cage.
• install front kick down bars to his sub frame.
• build round tube sub frame connectors.
• install/modify the rear 5th gen Camaro suspension.
• install the brake booster, clutch master cylinder, steering column, intermediate shaft and u-joints
• modify the fire wall and trans tunnel for the TR6060, LS3 and associated shifter
• install the DSE mini tubs
• mount a 4th Gen Camaro center console
• His prices are also very good, so I ordered a new wiring harness, ride tech tiger cage, ride tech shocks and an AC kit for my Camaro.
• Measure for an install a fuel tank.
• More I am forgetting.

We fly back on December 4th to drive it all home.

I also got to order my entire list of goods, so the car should be in very good shape when it comes back. EFI, seats, clutch, bell housing, etc.

I got back home to see pics like this:

His welds are amazing! its going to be a sweet ride when the both of you are done with it. Keep the up dates coming I love to see build pictures.

Long Story but nope I acquired my old 70 Z28 back last weekend so it looks like I will be putting my Sub-frame under it and then sending it to Scott to put the IRS under the rear so I can make it a roller.

Heh, what IRS?

Looks like I have a high clearance transmission mount - I have four pics of this, but this is the best:

It looks like its designed better then a factory one, Plenty rigid.

Thanks man. Sadly, I drove right by y'all and had room in the trailer for the Corvette.

I am jealous, I have his first rendition of the subframe and it looks like he is really stepping it up with the trans crossmember and all of the cool lightening holes. His RideTech prices were great and I bought my coilovers when I got my subframe. Until I found my local builder, I had talked with him about sending my Firebird up to him.

You'd have a shorter drive than I did .

As far as I know, these options were available. The mandrel bent rails were in the corner of his shop, rusting away.

I challenged Scott, as he under prices his work and most people push for "cheap" instead of "awesome". I told him to err on awesome. I want his best and gave him the freedom to push himself.

So far, he has not disappointed and it's been worth the drive.
