Smile Cleaning up the undercarriage for summer show n shines...

Started to clean up the undercarriage, re-polished my Borla, bought SLP SFC's (installed), BMR LCA's, PHB, front & rear sway bars, all powder coated silver with red bushings, (installing now).

I am even going to ramp it up with a good tune (finally) Next up, re-polish the intercoolers, TB etc.

Thanks for allowing me to share

A few pics...what a mess in the garage...A few more clamps to tighten...


BMR Parts ready to install...


Took the Borla off to spruce it up...Can you tell the difference between the chrome tips and the polished pipe?


Borla close up...

ALL HAIL TODD2001SS
I envy your work - hopefully when I get a lift I can attain that level of beautification to my undercarriage. Nice job man.

Thanks for the compliments! Some of this is old news for some, and a repeat of the past, but it has to be spruced up again, lol. Thought everyone might like a look.

I even bought and polished stainless bolts for the SFC's. I am sick, I know it.

I have a huge show I will be at next week and have to look as good as possible, I will be posting pics after next week. It will be tons of fun but time is running out to get everything clean, clean, clean and shiny.

Thumbs up

Todd, It's about time you get a lift, or at least get a job near me. As usual your SS is looking great...now go beg, plead or what every it takes to get that lift. Hell, I'll even come out there to help you install it.

Ciao,
Al

Thanks again for all the compliments. The reason why we all are here, exchange ideas and share in the madness.


-NaSSty99...Thanks!

-Blu Beast....Thanks Chris. I have the same problem with the dial up, that is why my wife thinks I am on the computer all day, lol. I still wait for each picture to load, one at a time.

-tuffluck...This was the ONLY part I did not do myself but here is a write up I did to for the rest of the parts I polished. Polishing Tips

-MadIceV8...Thanks! You are a blinging mad man too.

-pewter01SS...More pics on the way after this weekend when I am finished, thanks!

-Steve1969LS1...I had it painted last year, just touching it up again, have a huge show next week. I will be posting tons of pics then. This is mostly your fault why I do this. I can not wait to see you car finished.

-Josh...Thanks for following me through my modding craze.

-WhiteDeathLS1 Can't get enough of it. More pics!
Yesterday 10:30 PM

-DARK AGE 53...Al, are you trying to get me divorced, lol. I keep wanting a lift then I spend the money on something else for the car. I do wish I lived closer to you so I could borrow your lift, lol. I can not wait till I get the car tuned, the custom program should be here anyday now.

-Xsta Z 28...Thanks Andy. A Berger and a vert, shame on you, isn't one enough?

-PendragonZ...Thanks!

-Teri9672...There is a lot to be said about daily driving your car, fun everyday!

-SuperBuick... ALL HAIL TODD2001SS, I feel like royalty, lol. I have no lift that is why my back hurts.

-BIGBOS...Thanks!

-Stangkilr...I always drive to show in the rain, its Seattle, lol. Now you see why I am really having to clean the car each year.

-ls1rocker man...A true spoken gearhead I like the idea!
