Default Making FRCs

Has anyone tried making some aluminum FRCs like these ones:



I think they look a lot sweeter than the original plastic ones. The engine underneath is either an LS1 or an LS6...

I think those look like ***.

Although if done right they could look pretty sweet.

They look ok, they're in need of some fine tuning to be really attractive

4 coils to a brick, each brick under the cowl, back by the firewall (over each valve cover is the best visual, way under the cowl though)

Because the hook ups are in the same general area of the factory location, no splicing of wires!!!

I'll post some preview shots late next week-or early the following week of the completed kits.

How the hell would you put oil in the motor? Drip by drip down the dipstick tube? ..........or have to pull them every time you wanted to add oil. I have the corvette FRC's and they are a bitch to pull and put back on. Glad I dont have to every time I wanna add oil.
