Awesome work! I love that upper helm joint/ball joint setup. I wanted to run the Vette knuckles on my project, but had to get around the ball joint being on the knuckle and not the upper arm.

Making those tapered adaptors was my way around it. It took me a few days to come up with something, but it worked
Enjoy life while you can, because you only have one shot. So go BIG or go home.
Cant wait to see the wheels on the car outside!!!
I like the progess

Looks amazing. Can't wait to see pics with the body on the car with those wheels on there.
Started her up today with the new harness installed so I could fully test the digital controller for the water pump and the dual fuel pump setup. The fuel pressure was bouncing all over the place. I think the pumps are battling each other, so Im going to install the check valves at the pump to see if that with help. If not, the my regulator might be shot even though it is new. Need a new turbo or rebuild mine and need to have axles made to accommodate the new corvette hubs. Too much to do before the show in April. Blah

To solve my fuel pressure issue, I picked up these inexpensive check valves from NAPA. Works perfectly for 27 bucks.
Finally pulled the water pump gear off, as well as removed the balance shafts from the rotating mass. Doesn't really vibrate much more, but definitely revs quicker.
Some more metal that I removed from the rear of the car. Thats pretty much is for cutting waste metal off.
Here is a shot with the rear wheel sitting in place. I have already cut out a lot of the quarter and still need to cut about 2-3 inches out to allow for suspension travel.
Finally made the seat slider mounts for the drivers seat and welded up the shift links for the new shifter.

that rear wide body would be perfect. you could mold it on and have it hang down over the tires so you don't see all that cut up quarter
My lord... This build is amazing! Can't wait to see it done!
