The body is so stiff that when the jackstand was taken off on that side and the body didn't flex and the tire couldn't touch the ground.

I believe they are 6.84 backspace.
No mini tubs or anything like that. Obviously no quad shock. Still need to roll the fenders.

I'll check later and see if I can find anything on there. I haven't noticed anything, but I haven't looked for anything either.
I bought the car with it already on there. I'll get back to ya.

No markings or anything on the hood. It should be a 3" cowl hood though.

Man i love your car. The big meats in the back look great.
Question about your catch cans, is one being fed from passenger valve cover and the other from the drivers side valve cover? Just wondering as i have to put on a catch can and right now i only have one. Maybe i should get a second one???

One from the passenger side and the other from the pcv system. We might T a line in from the drivers side but what we have should be enough.

The drivers side valve cover has the plug it the back like the Z06 and we are using the new style pcv system. It make it easier for the engine to get rid of the crank pressure.
