Some new bling showed up today from Abear Motorsports. www.abearmotorsports.com

The fit was perfect and the finish was even better. They turned them around from the time I ordered them and got them the info for the engraving in a very short time. They are perfect and couldnt ask for more. I really like that they hide the coils. I would highly recomend them to anyone who might be looking for some nice LS valve covers.

The owner Jeremy has been around this area for a long time. Made a name for himself building custom suspension for trucks, mostly air bags, then he began building hot rods and muscle cars. Let me know if your in the area and want to check things out sometime. The shop is on Dixie and Commercial Area.

Made a little progress on the car today. Installed the vintage air box, firewall bulkhead, interior lines, dynotmat in trunk and interior.

Also got the wiring harness from Current Performance through the firewall.






And a little teaser of the body back on the chassis

MirandaBuilt made some good progress on the car today. Jeremy fabbed up the exhaust system. Dustin installed the Rock Valley Fuel tank and plumbed it. I want to thank Rock Valley, Red Horse, and Magnaflow for all the parts for this build. The Magnaflow mufflers, high flow cats, and stainless tubing were top notch and great to work with. Rock Valley sent this beautiful stainless tank with internal pump, and Red Horse sent all the black fittings.

Its all about who you know. The car is highly sponsored so alot of the parts were donated or discounted. MirandaBuilt is building the car and they are sponsoring the car and will be using it for advertisement so they are doing to car for a great price.
