Default My SS is finally finished.

After 10 months, hundreds of hours of work and thousands of dollars invested, my SS is finally back on the road after a ground up rebuild.

It's the same basic combination, I just went through and restored the undercarriage, rebuilt the entire driveline, suspension, braking system, fuel system, and engine management.

congrats man thats the icing on the cake when you get to finish something like that with everything the way you want it.

you just cut the 3" off of the 20tl and enlarge to 3.5 or is it a different muffler?

will you bring it to the maryland ls1tech race on the 17th?

Thanks guys.

Kurt- Whenever you like, though I hadn't really planned for any road trips to Michigan, I'm sure we'll run into each other somewhere

MM- The internal core of a 2OTL muffler is actually 3.5 that splits to dual 2.5. I just cut the 3in inlet out of the muffler (and internally where it met the 3.5 core), and welded a piece of 3.5in pipe to the core and muffler case.

That is an incredible car with total sleeper capability. Awesome quality with everything functional is impressive (a/c, ABS etc).
