The thread is back now so how about a progress update?

[QUOTE=www.MorenoMotorsports.com;8830009]Best decision we made is to go back to white!


Took me a couple days to read through this thread but OMFG this car is going to be THE best 5th gen out there. And Yes! White is perfect for this build. Gives it the perfect contrast to all the carbon work on the car. Awesome awesome work so far guys!

I think it's on the back burner due to school and life in general...

Quick update, we are going full force to get the car done, we just don't have time for much of anything else. Which includes updating the thread with pics. The car is looking ridiculous, hoping to have it put together in the next 8 weeks or so.

You'll enjoy the Slayer, it's amazing... Bro, I truly understand how long these builds take as well... Still following along....

Well Nathan, even if you don't have the time to post them now, I truly hope you ARE taking pics at this last stage of your project. It would be a shame to not document it at this point after all you've done and been through! Can't wait to see the final result!

Have been following this awesome thread for over two years, project has been going on for more years and I have come to the conclusion that this project is on going and will not have an end and no SEMA showing. That's fine by me as there has/is many subjects covered by this thread that many of us have done ourselves. Keep it going and keep inovating!!!

I guess will post one up.... cradle is approx 70 lbs lighter, all the bolts are ARP, the 16mm bolts and nuts had to be custom made. Z28 hubs, DSS 1500 HP axles, Hammer head diff, all the control arms were made by us including the end links, spindle and axles bolts are brill for safety wire. etc, etc, etc......

I'm ready to install the second one of these... You know, as the BETA test... And you know I'll prove it or not...

Wow, that's true car porn...
