New shocks are on! Also picked up a umi adjustable Tq arm cheap, changed my wheel bearings and seals.



The wiring the previous owner did has been bothering me pretty bad, so i decided to do something about it.

Gutting all the under dash wiring and building t from scratch.

Dash wiring is all cleaned up and awaiting switch panel. Got some work done on the dash, still tons left to do! New axles are installed, things are coming together! Piping finally showed up so I can finish my charge piping.

Damn Chris, you have been busy.

I remember talking to you on LS1GTO about how you custom made rear coil over brackets on your 04.

I joke around about making cheap cars expensive...this is on a new level LOL. Once you are done, get a cheap wrap put on and it will be sweet!

Been awhile man! How you been?? Up to anything new???
And thanks man! I'd sure like to make it look nice, it's getting close!


Rear end is finished and 3:31 gears put in with a 31 spline trak loc and carbon clutch kit. Moser axles fit perfect. Dash is done minus wiring it up, yanked the th350 out and finished my th400 fresh complete with the billet brake! Just got word from ptc my converter is shipping today, catch can is mounted, strain trunion upgrade is done, get the trans in so I can build my driveshaft! we are getting so close to making some passes! Also picked up this dual m15 nozzle alkycontrol kit from a friend for cheap with the progressive controller! So close! My boys have been helping a ton, love it

Things are going well...GTO is LONG gone and have been autocrossing a 95 Z28. Been a blast, and as always there are projects to be done. Next up is a 24x conversion! But currently axles are out for fluid change/bearings/seals and spec-ing out some thicker c-clips to reduce axle play.
