Default Mod Update

Wanted to let you all know what is up with my latest round of Mods. :smash:

The Dilusi Stage III brake package (front and Rear) w/ race & Street pads will be delivered today. :eek:

The ATI S/C is slated for shipping on 5/16 :eek: :eek:

My New Tire and wheel assemblies are still in the manufacturing stages... :cry

Looking forward to installing all the parts as soon as possible!! :blueangel:
I am hoping that this will hold me for a while. ;) Next planned round of Mods will be... Caravaggio interior... Seats, steering wheel, grab handles... Then I can start thinking about a Custom Paint Job!! :) Will It Ever End???? :crazy:

How are your Mods coming along?? What do you have planned for your car??

vetterdstr :cheers:

Well.....I'm in the middle of a little heat/sound installation project and am just wrapping up my interior mods with the help of Autobuffs, Vette Essentials and a local place, Mike's Tops :D.....after the Cruise-In, I'll be getting the dash wrapped to match the rest of the interior and having some more misc pieces painted :D

The engine bay is done with all the work being done Autobuffs and Creative Engine Covers :)

Next on the list is to get the gears/converter/pulley/rotors and "green" brakes installed....then when the tax check comes in, time for new rims and tires....:D:D:D

"Does it ever stop?"......No :jester

Mean, is the heat and sound insulation going to take up much room under the carpet? Or is the material thin?

Hey buddy :cheers:
I'm finalizing the preparations to install my "good" heads... which I'll put in over the next couple of weeks (My "nowhere near as good" heads have me at 404RWHP now, and were temporary;):reddevil )
Then, in the not-so-distant future, I'll be going with some taller gears out back--either 3.90's or 4.10's.
:)
