Gorgeous car, really clean and tasteful.

As a good friend you should mention to him that he should get rid of that oem power steering cooler.

That's a lot of polishing and a lot of time spent doing so. I would not wanna do that, not fun but sure looks good and clean and blinding in the sun.

Car looks amazing. I can definitely appreciate all the polishing time put into that engine bay.

Is that a nitrous gauge in the engine bay though...?

Thanks, he left the brakes lines on and just hand waxed them. I think it took him 2hrs to do the brake lines

Yea the car is a blast to drive! I was trying to get him to go with some deep dish wheels but he wanted the old school ZR1's and the actually looked better then i thought they would.

That's next on the list, I told him to go 20% but he wants to go 32%

Funny thing is i showed up to his house one day and he was look what i did and he popped the hood and i was like holy **** man lol He did most of it in a week. The valve covers took about 4 days i think but there nice and shinny

Thanks, we have not entered into any shows yet, but this year it is going to see a lot of them and hopefully we bring some trophy's home.

Yep its a nitrous gauge lol He did it for show purposes, we have a lot of car shows/meets at night here and when its lit up it looks badass in the engine bay

Very nice, clean, a lot of hard work under the hood, like the ZR1 wheels. Awesome looking ride!

What's the deal with the power steering coolers?

I disconnected my power steering lines from the radiator line that helps cool the p/s fluid as I have been told by gm mechanic that they can fail and cause big problems and the p/s fluid doesn't really heat up that much. If you do auto-x then add an external one separate to work with no issues.
