The last few things are pretty much finished. I'm picking it up this weekend. Next step, PAINT! after a little body work, of course. Starting to get excited. Going to sema next week I'll probably see a bunch of things I want to change :willy: but at this point I just want to get it done for Autorama and start driving it in the spring!

Jeff, this looks excellent.

Two questions...1) where did you get the rear speaker deck? Marquez told me they did not make one. I thought they did but they said not when I called.

2) your exhaust setup looks a lot like what I am doing. What size are your tail pipes?

The rear deck is definately from Marquez, maybe they stopped making them after mine, but I seriously doubt it. The exhaust is 3" all the way with stainless at the last foot or so. I'm going to coat the whole system and polish the ends.

The dry sump tank was built by Ricks Hot Rod Shop,6 qts, and it was $675. The gas tank is also from them, I'm hoping to get the car in their display at sema next year. We'll see :thumbsup:

Not at the moment, however if you check out the "Fuel" Camaro, it's the same tank. They cut off the rear corners to run the exhaust through. It's a very nice tank. OOOOOHHHHH @%$%&$#!!! The Tigers just lost! Not cool here in D town.

Hey Jeff, it might just be a mock-up picture or maybe the calipers have bleeders on both ends, but it looks like in your second picture on the first post that your bleeder screw is pointing down. Just thought I'd say something so you didn't get everything done and have to fight not being able to get the air out of your brakes...

Don't worry, it will be right when it goes back together. We were probably just in a hurry for the pics and just threw it on there real quick. I was more or less just showing the brackets that mount the calipers and also mount the stock corvette backing plate for the parking brake as well as hold the axle in. I thought they were pretty cool. I learned the upside down caliper problem years ago and actually got them to bleed!, but realized why it took so long after it was done. Oh well, you gotta learn the hard way sometimes.

Looking good.
It's going to be candy red with carbon fiber (simulated) hockey stripe and tail panel.
