I also stopped by the current shop but you weren't there, I wanted to chat about your thoughts on an LT1 build. Maybe a way to break in that new engine assembly room...
yeah sorry i was at the dyno with a car. That was my step dad doing all the work. He has been busting his *** to help me.

Did you seem my LT1 made it in this months camaro performers magazine? ill sell that one too ya hehe... but if not ide be glad to build you one.

Well just got home from the shop after working on installing the lifts. What a pain in the *** it is to try to figure out EXACTLY where i want them. Moving one then pulling a car in, Moving the other then pulling the car on that one ect. Needless to say we are moving forward. Here are some pics for you guys.

The lights make my truck look really clean haha







Then after some **** talking goin one the cobra and the C6Z had to go settle it.

Getting back from the race.


The cars were about dead even. Cobra makes about 640 on a mustang dyno. See my build thread on LS1Tech.

C6Z has Vararam, ARH, Corsa and we flashed a tune it in(havent dynoed yet)


Heres a pic of my air compressor

Sorry guys been SWAMPED with work. Im now working out of both shops mainly finishing the cars i started at the old shop and all the new cars are goin to the new shop. Here are some updated pics.








In front of each lift i will have a table with all the parts each car is getting neatly layed out so nothing gets confused on any car.


I also got my leather couch and end table for my waiting room
