Don't know how the hell I missed this thread... I spent months going back and forth between CRT and White. And the black stripe you did is dead on perfect.

510 rocks and you're in good hands there as you already know , I promised Randy I would make it down there soon and now I have a good reason to.

Can't wait to see this one in person. I'll probably be following your footsteps...

Exciting Stuff here

Thanks a lot bud I'm really liking how the zl1 emblems came out, going to put carbon fiber decals in the ones soon and add the small ZL1 emblems from the front grill onto the fenders beneath the 69 camaro emblems.
Always trying to be a lil more unique.

Sounds like we are on the same page my friend. My SS before this was summit white and I loved the color but CRT won it for me in the end and it's really grown on me.

Can't go wrong with 510, Randy and Matt are the only guys I'd leave my cars with. I have no doubt they are the guys to build my single digit daily driver. Glad to be blazing a trail for you lol look forward to seeing you down at the shop and maybe the track sometime.

Absolutely we are on the same page... I had CGM and IOM and wanted something different. This was really a toss up for me. When the 1st CRT came down the line Mike Judge sent me an e-mail talking about how everyone's jaw dropped at the plant. That really made it hard...

I even started this thread...
http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=180726

Come on out to the Camaro Nationals end of Oct... We may even have a dedicated ZL1 class.

That's October 27th a Saturday... we do a Car Show/BBQ/Party so the out of town folks have something to do. Then racing during the day at LMP. Track is better out there in the day and hopefully the date will be good temps too.

For the dual in tank fuel pump in today and everything buttoned up in the back. Heads are being ported and should have them ready to go soon. We are trucking along right on schedule.

Update: heads and pulleys are on, finishing up the porting on the blower snout and if everything stays on schedule should have the build complete and be off to the tuners tomorrow evening!

Getting close now. Randy (510 Race Engineerinh) is porting my throttle body as I post. The ported blower snout came out beautifully. Hoping to have everything wrapped up in no time and will be waiting to get R XIII up to the tuner ASAP, probably Monday.
Thanks guys, here's a couple quick pics I snapped
