Welded all around the seams.<br/>











Decided to smooth out the door jamb areas.








C6 corsa sport mufflers 4 inch tips. I wanted the xtremes but I'll try out these first. Really curious to find out what they'll sound like.

Do yourself a favor and skip the sportlines, they are one of the worst springs for our cars. Get some strano springs or something else.

96famaro

I'm ready to build it. Happy holidays as well.

96famaro

Cool. I'll look into them. Nothing is set in stone anyways.

Few updates. I figured I would have been done with more, but free time ended up spent just being lazy instead. I'm just about wrapping things up in the engine bay which is the big hold up right now. I should be making plans for painting some parts maybe in about two weeks, but we'll see.



C - notched frame for clearance of blower.








Area cutout to make room for piping, methanol tank, etc

Looking good so far!

Getting things smoothed out.





I'll probably put this cover on and get it all painted nice and purdy.





Dynamat xtreme came in. Stuff works great.





Welded fender nuts to bolt the fenders. Factory are crap on all f-bodys.








Cutouts for rear wheel clearance and a whole lot of hitting in the whole inside for the wheels.





Test fitting the wheels.

96famaro

Used the air hammer to roll the inner quarters.





Got some mud on it finally.








Just me doing some block sanding.











More mud and shaved antenna.








Door cutout.

Thanks guys! Stay tuned because it's starting to gain momentum and I'll be moving along quiet quickly now that most of the time consuming stuff is somewhat done. I'm shooting to be hopefully driving this thing mid February.

this looks to be one hell of an undertaking

Getting the mufflers fitted and tubed took away lot of my time, probably about week and half. If I'd had just kept this build simple, I'd probably have most of the car painted and assembled, but then how boring would that be.

LH side<br/>I damaged both bottom rockers when moving the body around my shop with the tractor. I've had this thing in my way for many years and even thought about just scraping the whole body.
