New updates
It been a long time since I've added any updates to my project. Between house reno's, coaching a roller derby team and homework, it ate all my time up. Roller derby is done and the reno's stalled so I now have some pics to post. I finally have the front clip glued on thanks to my buddy Dan and Joe. Dan is on here as Dannyman and Joe...well...he doesn't have a Vette yet. Both great guys and patient I tell you, I was picky. I also have the new rims and tires on the car. They're Boss 338's and Falken 452's. The back offset is perfect, I can even use my sway bar with the 275/40/18's but the front I think needs to go out a bit. Here's the pics. The side pipe is hanging low so I can get the clip on and off easier. I also put rubber mounts on the car so it's sitting a little high.
There's a story and lesson to this mess. Make sure you have the right year vacuum canister because it's not coming out in one piece if the clip is glued. I had to take it out because it was pushed against the firewall wiring harness connector. Nobody caught that one until it was too late. I had to use one of those hacksaw blade holders and cut the whole thing up and pull it out the side gill hole.
Here's an old video of the dyno
