On another note. I had these things coated. Just how long is it going to stink like hell? LoL

I don't know about the coating stinking, but that boot is real close to mine too, and it can take the heat. You'll be fine.

well heck...I guess I have another winter mod on the way...got RPI splash guards with the ZL1 rears on the way. I do a good paint detail once a year during winter (in shop in the heat) and the forgestars out front are aggressive enough fit that they throw crap all down the side of the car. Luckily it all cleaned off...but that had to have been dead squirrel or rabbit from like this summer that was concrete bonded to my paint. Soaked it in 90.10 alcohol like I do VHT and it came off finally. Holy cow.

That's a good idea. I need to do that. I get tired of scrubbing the filth off of the side rockers and rear quarters.

Hows it going guys?
As things are right now I'll be buying some cradle bushing and differential bushings when I wake up this afternoon, then hope to have my toe rods, and trailing arms by mid February. It's slowly coming together. Haha
Hopefully within the next month I'm going to order some MT drag radials as well for my factory rims for now.

Soon as the tracks open up here I'm planning on finally getting there since my cam install to see what I can put down even if I don't have the dr's yet. On the bright side I am about 10-1 on the skreet!!! I'm gonna have to borrow GroceryGetters car to revenge that one loss because even with slicks i still couldn't have messed with it!!! Haha

Sounds like a good start bro! 10-1 is solid! I am like 8-4 or something like that.. When I was NA I lost too a C5 ZO6, a Sprayed GTO and a few other odd's and ends...those two I knew I was dead to rights going in but it was a good run, I made it close vs the ZO6 (Driver MOD) lol.

I was however undefeated once "blown"

Ill mesure with a adjustable but I will only have 4 days to do cam, headers, sways, cradle bushings and shifter and get dyno tuned. I wont have time to send back wrong parts. + im not doing it until april

What's your battle plan for the cradle bushings? Do you have a lift?

I need to get the old man motivated. I was kinda hoping we would be done building by this time next year. I doubt that's possible now...
