So were on the road with the Prodigy Vette and Project EmptyNest. Got a few more puzzle pieces for ya. Sorry cannot do much more , yet.

We have some really good friends at Prodigy that worked their asses off on Project EmptyNest with us, John Parsons, from II Much fame, made the most killer Pro Touring clearance headers ever. I hit John with the idea, and he ran with it. Mike Norris from Norris Motorsports worked until late hours of the night with Parsons on the exhaust. My good friend Bob Traithen is one of the worlds foremost authorities on paint and paint products and is our personal paint advisor. Bob polished his ass off on the billet on the car! Even Bob's son Robbie Taithon got in the game and made a emergency 100 mile run to National Parts Depot for a couple last minute Ahh****s! I will tell ya this, without our friends, our personal projects would not exist.

Thanks guys!

I think more people will pick up this idea for ground clearance in lowered cars.
