Default Any Suggestions?
Hey guys! So Im definitely an LS1 freak by nature, but I also own my own CNC machine shop, Chalk Precision Machining. Things have slowed down a little this year and I thought it would be fun to take the time and maybe start machining some parts for the Camaro, Corvette, Trans Am, and Silverado guys! Does anyone have any good suggestions on some cool things we could design and produce to satisfy our LSX addiction? I was thinking anything from concept design to maybe just making a better part for less money. You can e-mail me any ideas you have to ChalkPrecision@comcast.net if you dont want to post them on the board. Check out my website too! www.ChalkPrecision.com. Let me know what you guys think!

I don't know about most.. but I would love a billet shifter **** styled after the factory Hurst (H) and SLP *****. Give me a day to think of a few more little pesky things cause I've had plenty of ideas in the past that required a machine shop lol. (depending on price I would definitely buy a **** though! )
