I am very impressed with your work!!!

at first I was thinking the light blue wasnt my thing, but for a race car and to detail the nice frame work, I think it was a great idea.

my brothers 67 Camaro was Iroc blue and at first thought my dad was nuts doing a yellow subframe, but it really stood out at shoes, people always complimented it.

It's always a good idea to paint a racing frame a lighter color so that you can see any cracks better on a visual inspection.

Soooo... Sold my c6 and have a 1980 sitting in the garage ready to pull body from frame and came across this thread... sorry to necro bump but was wondering if it's possible to do the AWD with an ls3 in it... also was looking at buying one of the chassis with c5/c6 brakes.. Just curious before i start placing orders if it's been done/looked at. Ideally i'd like to buy the ugraded tubular chassis and put the awd on it with ls3... maybe a twin rear mount.

pics of their car from another source... definitely a nice end product heard it was a 9 second on un-prepped airstrip car.

This is very intriguing. I would really love to see more photos of the custom floor, and where the seat sits relative to the transfer case. Also, how the pedals are situated relative to the forward driveshaft. Its very inspiring, and I would like to see more pics of how you made this custom floor work with the affected parts.

I used to have a 500+ hp typhoon. It was a riot. I hope the one you hacked up was a rust bucket, because to this day that is an awesome car. With that said, very cool mod!
