Are you located by strasburg by any chance?? I'm in Waterloo and theres this guy out in strasburg that picks up old police cars from the states and converts them to propane and sells them here... your shop just looks really familiar for some reason.

in any case... nice car... how much power are you looking at making when all is said and done?

Nope, our shop is located in Breslau, near the airport just east of KW.

If the customer goes ahead with the twin turbo setup, 1000whp should be possible.

Troy wanted to know if we have our dyno setup yet. Shoot me off an email about the parts you want powder coated, we've got alot of **** piling up for our guy to spray....

No pics tonight, couldn't snap any and I'm off to Alberta for the rest of the week. When I get back I'll get some pics of Darkness!

A few more updates, the alternator and power steering pump fir perfectly in between the support rails



Z06 stock manifold doesn't quite fit, but the aftermarket headers should.



Slick Hurst shifter on the offset Viper shifter will make slamming gears real easy



Drivers side rear quarter removed, we're replacing them with new ones from Goodmark




9" getting backbraced. We've decided to go with a 3 link and panhard bar for the rear to give better adjustment for handling.
