oh man I can’t wait!

Blvd body shop in Redding Ca is painting mine..... exceeding my expectations for the cost 👍🏻

Congrats! Looking forward to your finished product

Voltage regulator? Not sure if that would cause that but it’s my first thought.

Such a beautiful car. Nice work and attention to detail.

Getting closer

Impressive and clean. Nice work. Jim

Final primer

Just amazed at your level of commitment to this car. Can’t wait to see the finished project. Nice work. Jim

Shop sent me some updates...... went in for final primer coat Friday..... hope to be in paint soon.

Agreed.... DSS also bolts directly to the wheel side stub axle if you buy theirs but you will still need the adapter on the diff side. Moderns complete kit is hands down the top notch but it’s really pricey. On the other hand you will get what you pay for.

sweet! Now I can play a little catch up.

Wow. Can’t belive I got that to work lol

Call DSS. As I said before, my problems with their product were with the stub axles not the half shafts. They use the larger/stronger 108mm CV and are very stout. You won’t break one IMO. unless they have changed then supplied hardware, that’s the only thing you may need to source on the differential side. HTH. Jim

I’m the guy with all the DSS fit troubles. Once they got the machining right we were good to go...... but to be fair, the problem was with the stub axle not the half shafts, and the extra expense involves the stub axles as well. My biggest fear was snapping a stub axle at pace..... after I had completed the swap, the stock half shafts were still in good shape. Other than changing out some hardware, the half shafts fit fine and I run them very hard on track with and LS1. Hope that helps. Jim.

I run the sparco. I’m 6-1 210lbs and I fit fine. They fit the Z well and are comfortable. Jim

I sure wish we could add full video to the site.

Dropped off the the car for body and paint Tuesday. Can’t wait to get it back.

Clean build. Nice work

Stripped the car of all parts necessary for paint..... saving quite a bit doing my own labor.... shop will finish up body work and get her sprayed. Should be back on he track for August. 🏎

In don’t like bumper guards at all but that’s just a personal preference..... put them and see if you like it...... if you like it, it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks. It’s yours to enjoy the way you want 👍🏻

Looking good..... suspension bits cleaned up nice.

You might check out hoke performance too. Not sure he is doing the autotrans but his mount for the manual may be modified to work. As Richard said, JCI already has it done so that’s the easiest route.
