Getting more finished. All the suspension is done. Afcos installed, new EBC rotors, hawk pads....I wanted to do Strange drag brakes all the way around but it sees to much street time and too heavy imo.

Also the Vette is finished! Off to Sho Me for a tune!

I haven't kept track but I'm guessing at least 18-20hrs. That's fitting and then body work.

Ok finally some time to relax. The last week has been crazy getting it finished up. I changed a lot of things so a lot of time was spent making sure everything was finished up.

We didnt put very much nitrous on it for now. The gus at Sho Me Speed got the car lined up and tuned. Seems to pull very hard on motor. It made well over 500 on pump gas N/A though full exhaust...street car lol. Wes is a great guy and the only one I trust to build and tune ANYTHING for me.

Anyway heres some pics boyzz!!



Manual Rack..Custom Mounts(thanks to Sho-Me) and a UMI Kmember..


Wes getting his hands dirty




















Finally moves under its own power

Car looks perfect! I like the hood and all the improvements under it. Not to mention the car was great to start with. Looks mean for sure!!
