Red face Did I make the right decision?

GOING........

GOING........

GONE!!!!

What do you all think? Did I make the right decision as far as a fabricator for the chassis? Check out the C6 -'57 truck they are doing in the project section:

I'm still a bit nervous about having to commit so I need the moral support!

Thanks!

John

I have checked out that 57 truck many times. I would trust them with my car. What are you going to have done?

Full frame chassis with 5" ride height at Cowl
Corvette C6 Lower control arms and custom Upper control arms(The damn C6 uppers are too long! That is what I originally wanted but I don't want to sacrifice performance for looks!)
Still up in the air(No pun intended!) about if I'm going to go with AirRide Shockwaves or Coilover.
Corvette C6 torque tube, 6 speed transaxle and differential
Hidden 6 point cage
LS2 with AFR heads, Comp Cam, FAST intake set back for better weight distribution and to clear the R & P.
Autometer Nexus Gauges
Hurst Shifter
Vintage Air
Power One piece windows
Ron Davis Radiator
Wilwood Superlite 6's in front and 4's in back
Budnik Ice 18's

DID YOU HEAR THAT???!!!!??? That was the sound of my bank account spitting out money!!!

Oh Well!! I guess I'll be the only homeless person with a 12 second car!

BTW......Sponsors? I would be more than happy to hear from you!

John

Don't worry she is parked safely next to a 550 hp 2003 ZO6 tonight. We begin ordering parts in the morning.

I should have a ride height mock up tommorrow.

I must say that guy in the black T shirt looks very handsome. If I do say so myself.
