Default One Badd Vette'

I still have a lot to do bottom side but I needed some inspiration so wheels on and I took the car off the jack stands. Though the pics don't begin to do justice as they just don't show the stance or the shine like in person, the concept is evolving just as planned. A few days and back up it goes to finish up the plumbing and wiring. Moving along.

I've seen you post pics of the engine and manifold set and wondered what it was going in.
Way over the top, clean and very well thought out are a few things that come to mind!

Great attention to detail!

yeah it look ok i guess......... joke. Stunning work as ever mate.

Like the location of the chargecoolers, very neat. Do you plan on running the air form the turbos into the front or rear of the chargecoolers?

Also whats that thing at the rear near the diff?

From turbo's to the rear of the air water intercoolers (still need to be polished). Before you ask there is plenty of room for the front tires to turn. At full lock there is 8 inches of clearance. This is a first year C5 Corvette, 1997. Behind the diff is where they put the ABS unit that year.
