IPS had to install a new rear LCA and trailing arm package in order for the 15" wheels to fit. There are also new Pfadt toe rods (Pfadt calls them tie rods on their website) for added adjustability. They also installed C5 brakes and new lugs. They also had to do some machining of the hubs in order to mount the brakes. Here are the pics.







And a test fit shows that the 15s do fit on the car. Woo hoo!




And my 20" Forgelines still fit too.




This picture is with the 20" Forgelines on the car. I should have taken one like this with the 15s on it.

I definitely am! It's going to be tight to get it all done for the Fest, but they are working hard to do it.

I have made a date with my car at IPS next Wednesday evening to polish and wax it. I won't have time for a complete detail, but I can at least get it cleaned up a bit.

I think it won't be long and you will be able to order the control-arm and trailing-arm kit through IPS. Give Brandon a call.

How's progress coming? I'm sure you are chomping at the bit to get this beast rolling. I can't imagine the countdown to fest ticker is helping either.

They are doing their best to get it done in time for the Fest. They worked on it until midnight last most nights for the last week. As of yesterday, the engine was in. (Notice the intake manifold fits under the hood.)

Pics I took yesterday morning...


This is the palette of parts yet to go in...



Front wheels for racing.




I got an emergency phone call last night. They had to use a spacer to get the valve covers to clear the LS7 rockers. But, the valve covers leaked. They found another set of valve covers online and I told them to have them shipped overnight express from California. They should have gotten them this morning.

Fingers crossed that they'll be starting it up and tuning it late today.

Got a couple more pictures of the Weld wheels on the car from Tom at IPS. I'm very pleased with them!




I'll be headed over to IPS later this afternoon to check on things.
