Super Charged LT1... and yes, yes it certainly will

Swap your motor with that SC LS1. He won't know the difference. :flipoff1:

Yea he wouldnt notice that at all... dirty yellow throttle body with stock crusty air cleaner.... Bling bling SC LT1.... they kinda look alike. :popcorn:

Garden hose and a bottle of armor all should do the trick

Couple of pics of were Joe is at on it when he dropped it off.

The rear has a floor and sides around the seat to protect the kiddos, pretty cool. He said he had one of the rear skins almost done. I have to put some tube and get the CO figured out out back so he can skin the rest in. We got some other lil cool things in the works too . Spent pretty much all the time deciding on direction and not really executing much.

Homie scored the nitro bumps too. I lust those ;D

you gonna brace that front tube bump/stinger thing through the headlight holes or from somewhere else.?

P · Jun 17, 2007

Im thinking right now im gonna tube it into the hoops for the front CO's but yea it will get some bracing. Have to get a few other things put in place before all the bracing starts getting added.

Looks a lot different. Is there gonna be a skin that covers the rear tube (ie: outside of the coilover mounts)?

P · Jun 17, 2007

teeeeeeeeeeen four. Thats part of what I owe him there and above the kiddo's , lots to go still. :spin:

BamaTJ · Jun 17, 2007

I thought I saw one mocked up when I was at his shop, just could not remember for sure

P · Jun 17, 2007

Yea he has started skins back there already from my understanding.

Cole · Jun 17, 2007

Looks good, My motor is getting pulled tomorrow so hopefully he will be able to get it Tuesday or Wednesday.
My only question is the way the rear coilovers are mounted to that straight tube with no brace on top. My coilovers used to be mounted similar to that and it started bending the bar up. We had to put in some braces'.

P · Jun 17, 2007

they really arent even mounted... just stuck them on some tacked tabs so it could roll and simulate ride height... they will be further inside the chassis when its all said and done and I agree with you on what your sayin .
