Default Tiger Shark Project Update

Some of you may have been following along as my TS project continues. But for those of you that haven't here is the story...
Phase One I did a long time ago...
Blackwing Air cleaner,
Bassani X-Pipe,
Borla Stingers,

Phase Two is all about more power and upgraded suspension.
From front to rear...
LS6 Intake,
NGK TR 55 plugs and GM Hotwires,
Stainless Works Longtube Headers,
GM 3:42 Rear Diff.,
Protouque 2800 stall converter.
Also Z06 Shocks and sway bars then lowered it to stock bolt limits.
And just for fun a dual-gage pod on the "A" pillar to watch Vaccuum and EGT.

Phase Three is the Tiger Shark front and rear fascia. Also the "Hot and Cold" hood from Eckler's. I'm also installing the GT Foctory 'Diablo' vertical door hinges.
I know it is alot but it is very difficult to resist...if you know what I mean

As of today this is how it is taking shape. Only a nother week to go.
