All i need is a steering rack/shaft for a ls1 and its a roller again. Personially im diggin' the 2 tone color. And ill have a little red on the motor so it should match nicely

Just read through all 11 pages. ...Subscribed. (Currently doing "tin can" weight reduction on my '99 Z28, but not quite to the extent that you went.) Looking great, and good luck!

If you go to user settings and do some "tuning" it's only 6 pages


Enjoying the build as well
