Thanks John, I still have one position on the touch pad to use and I think I'm going to do what you did with the DRLs.
JHall, good on you. You can count yourself as one of the few who can sleep at night knowing you did the right thing. I respect that.

Thank you very much for the compliment
I really wanted too put my mark on it! Quote:
I'm really happy people can appreciate it and all the work that went into it....Suspension upgrades by Pedders, Pfadt, Granatelli & BMR have made it drive like a true super car! You waiting for an update Pierre? Well we're installing the additional Pedders & Pfadt suspension parts as I type this. Arriving this week is a ZL1 fuel pump, MTI Racing Billet Tensioner, a smaller Metco Billet pulley, the custom Strut Tower Brace by River City Creations and I even splurged on some Brushed Aluminum Kick Plates with black carbon fiber SS inserts for the interior....Now I'm designing what to do with my interior & waiting for my ZL1 front bumper from Gary's Customz! |

Thank you Tmac for the kind words! The 3dCarbon Vents were really one of the first things I knew I was doing to the body, along with Eric's MPD1 Hood, Rear Spoiler & Smooth Exhaust panel. The vents really make it different and the key thing is they're functional and serve a purpose....Your car looks pretty sick too my friend!! |

More goodies arrived & installed this week....No, not the ZL1 Bumper yet.. Come on GM, let's go!!!
Got my ZL1 Fuel pump from Patrick @ GM Parts House From Lupe @ River City Creations, the beautifully painted Strut Tower Brace....You da man Lupe!! From MTI Racing, I upgraded the the stock Tensioner with their Billet Racing Tensioner & also a 87mm Billet Pulley to replace the stock plastic one. From Jordan @ JDP Motorsports, the Pfadt Front Radius Arm Bearings & Rear Upper Control Arm Inner Bushing got installed yesterday, along with the Pedders Eccentric Full Alignment Kit (Which can be a real PIA to install!) Just a heads up for anyone with suspension or engine questions, Jordan really knows his stuff, he's a Forum Sponsor, he races his Camaro plus other cars, and a generally nice dude that's always available to answer any questions. Pedders Full Alignment Kit Pfadt Parts This is the stock bushing on the rear arm that gets replaced with the Bearing, much better design obviously. Instead of it acting like a rubber band, it'll move much smoother and really improve handling....Imagine that, if you think your stock SS handles good...... Also working on an album & posters for the car shows with the help of Photoshop guru & fellow Jersey Boy, Chris (xVengeancex28) Here's a few sneak peaks: So this coming week, Pedderized alignment on Monday, ZL1 Fuel pump, Strut Tower Brace, MTI Tensioner & Pulley will get installed afterwards, I'll be thinking about my custom badge placement, while waiting & praying for Gary of Gary's Customz to tell me the ZL1 bumper is in ...And patiently waiting for my custom CAI lid from Bill @ CAI, that one's going off to Emblem Pros without the glass to get Hydro-Coated the same Illusion pattern as my other under hood components, thus increasing airflow to the box courtesy of the Z-Force hood. I'm also getting the ball rolling on swapping out the rear end to a Strange Engineering Rear End with either LPE(Lingenfelter) 3:70 or 3:91 gears, along with 1400HP Half Shaft axles & a GForce Carbon Fiber Driveshaft.....Yes, I think I'm becoming crazy, but in a good way! Thanks again to EVERYONE for all the positive comments, support & the Car of the Week honor, it's much appreciated & keeps me motivated! |
