The attention to detail, the man hrs. Its truly incredible.

I know some people are wanting to see this project done, me... I can wait, because once its done, its on to the next build.

My only questions are, are you guys still selling the front and rear frames?

And, once completed, what's going to happen to this C5R? Auction?

Thanks guys for the props! We really appreciate the support.

Henrique, I watch one of the "badobsessionmotorsport" videos, that awesome! We wish we had more time to do stuff like that but it's a battle just to keep this thread updated, LOL.

Here a few more pics. All the bolts are ARP with the Moreno touch.

We replaced the Mantic with a RPS dual carbon disc setup. The decision was due primary to Robert's recommendation.

Stock alternator was replaced with a DC power setup. They normally only machine the front half. The rear half will be a casting. We had them machine both halves for us. Then we had them gray anodized before they put it back together for us.

We ran into a snag, the alternator sat to close to the fitting on the PS rack. This prevented us from being able to install the PS line. The biggest challenge is that nobody makes a 90 degree PS fitting. So we had to come up with our own solution......, we cut the AN side off the fitting, drill and tap it for a banjo fitting. This gave us the 90 degree bend we needed to clear the alternator and install the line. Now we just need to have XRP make us a new high pressure PS line with a 90 degree hose end to make everything work.

We made a bunch of brackets that will need powder coating. Here is one for the Ram clutch adjuster.

We received the 2" shorter drive shaft today from Frank at DSS. We have got to say Frank has been one of the best all around guy we have dealt with on our project. And thats saying a lot!!!
