Today is like Christmas. The Ride Tech triples and Vette control arms/spindles showed up.

It's looking awesome and like a world class winning front suspension.

I hope I can drive to it's potential!

I think I need to do some sanding and polishing on the forged aluminum pieces.

So my engine builder had a problem with the crank's diameter and the rods we got cheap wouldn't work right.

So, Callies MagnumXL crank deserves Callies Ultra rods, right?

They came in yesterday. Crank, rods and custom pistons go out for balancing Monday. Should have the motor together before the car comes back from Scott.

I love the fact that everything on the car (that I know of) is made in the US.

and it's like Christmas again...

Giffin Motorsports sent me info on the Callies rods and now Scott sent an update that we have hubs and sway bars in place.


I can't wait to see this Bad Larry bolted into the car with the DSE aluminum body pucks I bought. I even found stainless grade 8 bolts for it when we do final assembly.

Today was a bad day for the Camaro... the rear end fell out!

Found a bit of rust, which doesn't surprise... it will get cut out anyway.

Mock up (pun intended) shows that Scott will get the IRS in. It will still feature a removable cradle.
