put it on jackstands a month ago now Waiting on center section to get back from MWC.
Still trying to find a Throttle body for my fast intake and a way to wire up my Leash Nitrous controller.


In other news, I bought a lift kit and some 35" tires on motometal wheels for my extended cab, cutting the front fenders after work tomorrow and installing the new front bumper mounting KC lights etc.

It starts and runs but had fuel leaks. I guess super unleaded and Aeroquip fuel line don't get along. I'm running hard line, should finish the return line today.

I rerouted a bunch of wires and vacuum lines to make it look cleaner. Made a bracket for the fuse box to hold it in a better spot. Put the windshield washer tank on it...which don't sound like much but since nothing really goes exactly where it goes it becomes a little something....same with the horns. Made a battery box and hold down for a smaller battery.

Changing out mismatched bolts and painting lots of tid bits. Made a couple carbon filler panels to fix a couple broke lights.

Put new rotors on it, sanded the pads, ran knew brake like to the rear because it had a piece in it I didn't like and it zig zagged out to the rocker and back. I made it in 1 piece and found the right clips for the lines. Finding all the right bolts for .....well almost everywhere.

The pressure side is not leaking now but I had to put a piece in it to stop a leak so I will hard line it next with 1/2" line. It needs a catch can on it now to.

Oh yea....it has all the trim on it now and I refinished all of it. Polished the car before I put the trim on too. Need to finish polishing the wheels after setting for a year. Exhaust needs adjusting....it fits like ****.

Sounds like you've been busy.


I'm waiting on my friend to get back from Texas, so he can put my transmission back together, he's crewing for a X275 car at a big race.

Might be a lot of money but **** I had over $2k after parts/labor into my stock one. After you sell ur stocker and Trans brace (if u have one) the cost will be even less for the new c6z diff.

I finally ordered my tires so ill have the 15's mounted next weekend

As you know... the deal fell through with my diff.
