Well guys, We are building a chassis for a super nice guy named Greg from Las Vegas that is having the boys at Rods and Resto's in Alabama build him his 2nd car. A 1957 chevy Belair. Since Greg is a Chevy man it had to have the best of the best. So how about an LS9 with a Tremec 5 spd. Plus a set of ZR1 brakes.....WOW.

The wheels are just roller for the weekend in Scottsdale. So the calipers won't even fit. But man does this thing look sweet.

We might be putting an LS7 in a 1980 MG in a few weeks. :_paranoid :_paranoid

No he just thinks he needs Kurt Urban to build an LS7 for his MG. I think an Ecotech would be more than enough.

Just this chassis and the chevelle chassis. And probably my camaro to run in the autocross. The Packard will drive with us to Pleasanton in 2 weeks I think and maybe Del Mar. The owner of the packard already has 2400 miles on that car. And the white walls have been curbed to death.

I also want to put together a Tri-Five+LS9 combo and would like to get in touch with you on your project details.

I'm new to custom building and currently compiling a parts/price list and would like to know what's going into your build and any info you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Would also like to get your input on the shop support as I my have them build my chassis as they at least have the experience of building yours.

Thanx
