Very cool, I like the braces you have on the bar as well. I'll have to see if I have the room for that.

Your name is Scott as well. This is becoming creepy

Thanks bud! how have you been doin? any hopes of moving back home yet?


Well, this started off as wanting to plug a hole up on the frame i didnt like. I thought to myself, "what would be cool is a logo in this piece!" So long story short i came up with this. If I actually did it right and it comes to fruition or not is another story but i inquired about water jet services just a bit ago. so we will see. The bad thing is, if everything goes smoothly, then ill probably go crazy making new things for the car

water jet cutting or even laser cutting can easily make that part a reality. The problem will be cost as typically the companies expect to make a lot of one part. You may want to inquire with someone who has a plasma cutter and can either do it by hand or in a smaller quantity.

No luck on moving home yet. Still just plugging away out here.

Thanks guys! The positive comments really do mean a lot!

That program is free to download if anyone is interested. It's called DraftSight. I had to look up tutorials on YouTube to figure it out. The downloadable starting guide is zero help btw.

I wish I could be posting updates but I'm having trouble getting stuff from HPI customs still. Too many holidays!

Oh I was an AutoCad drafter for almost 10 years. I'm really good on it.

But funny enough I installed the latest SolidWorks this morning. I know how to use it, just not as good. I'm thinking up some cool custom stuff I could have machined for my car...

Well big update here!

where to even start.... the "V" pieces i did i had cut, and they came out pretty good!


Picked up a bare LS2 block, crank, and a set of 70k mile stock pistons and rods, ported 241 heads that i am getting checked out for flow numbers and chamber CC's, came with Ferra valves and stronger valves springs. I ran the numbers on the spring pressure but cant remember them at this point. Picked up a 90mm F.A.S.T. manifold, LS2 corvette engine harness, and just grabbed a used centerforce clutch and flywheel yesterday.


Stock 243's on the left, the ported 241's i bought on the right
