Default This winters project
Every winter I take a job on that is alittle different for a reduced labor cost.This winter it's a friends 99 FRC vette. We'll be pulling out his 530rwhp 408ci 12-1 comp motor and replacing it with a L92 416ci with a Novi 2000 blower.It will get a new fuel system,Dual nozzle methenol kit and a bunch of other stuff. The car is all street with a car show every once in awhile.

Here is a few pics of what it looks like today.
