Default GRM Project C5 updated

Well, I finally got around to posting an update on the project on our site. Nothing too hardcore, but it might help out a few folks who just bought their Vettes. I did a little video on proper jacking and lifting, and showed how I put together my ramps and jack saddles and so on. I think it's helpful to be able to see the actual lift points on the screen, rather than just on a diagram.

So, like I say, it ain't hardcore tech but it'll probably help someone out.

I do have some real wrenching planned soon, actually. In the next six weeks or so, as soon as I can wrangle the parts and people, we're going to be doing some dyno before and afters with a Diablosport Predator and an aftermarket exhaust and various combos therein. That will also show upon the website before it shows up in print, so I'll be sure to post something here.

Here's the link to the current update. http://grassrootsmotorsports.com/new...e-so-tough.php

Thanks to CorvetteForum for most, if not all, of the research.

Nice ramps and jacking adaptors.

One point to all that use this method – be sure that the ramps have a sufficient tire stop to avoid driving over (past) the end.

JG I like your saddles for the subframes. I'm going to do something similar to that myself. I'm very paranoid about breaking bits made of aluminum.
