Less is more and unless you have an slp intake than its not a real ram air

Kindle Fire: The Keyboard Sucks, So Please Forgive Mass Misspelling

no such thing as a "ram air" on a FWD car, it just a gimmick

if the OP likes it all black then thats what it should be, why should he build a car based off strangers opinion on an internet forum?

no matter how you design it, its still a grand prix, i mean come on lol, lets be real here

spartan i have a slp box that would look good under the hood

[AmericanSoldier]

looks great though bro, do your thing! and if your asking for advice from ppl on the interwebz then you shouldnt be building a car in the first place, do YOU, be YOU

eh i'm on the fence about subtle things like what i was talking about.

Major choices i always make myself.

Get a nice decal made up saying something like "Gen V" or similar. So it'll leave 90% of people confused, but those that get it will think it's awesome.

[Spartan GL]

Oh Hey spartan got around to putting his new brakes on yay!






Also put my Street Scene Black Chrome grillz onto the bumper tonight (ill do my foglights later this week)

[Spartan GL]

and here are some random shop photos i took for your pleasure.
also gotta alittle crazy with a lift and the little cart thingy to roll under cars with

[Spartan GL]

I gave my GTP a Redbull now that ***** can fly!








Also Derricks GT (Top swaped)


I've seen that blower somewhere before... just can't pinpoint it..

[Spartan GL]

Goodies attached

[SeanGTP]

I was afraid when I saw "new grillz" in the title, but I'm satisfied, considering I also have the SS black chrome. Chrome or brushed grilles are honestly just obnoxious and stand out to much.

[dsmuts]

I like the tripower on the goat

For anyone who was curious of where my engine is and why its taking so long here is the worksheet from Godwin Singer (Machine shop in St pete been around since 1940's)

Disassembly of Engine (heads, oil pan, front cover, flywheel, motor mount etc)
R&R cam bearings + freeze plugs
clean block
hone cylinder to new piston specs
install main studs, line hone mains
degree deck block
eliminate balance shaft
Balance job on crank shaft (Done by the famous George Pills, Southern Pride Racing Engines Famous on the east coast)
Polish Crankshaft
check all eng clearance's ring gaps etc
assemble short block
degree camshaft
modify timing coverf/timing chain
rebuild oil pump
assemble cyl heads (rockers, pushrods, ck lifter specs
re assembler timing cover- oil pump- RR crank seal oil pan, harmonic balancer, flywheel etc.

Total of about 18.7 hours of labor (Normal Rate for Godwin singer is $75/HR)

But he is contributing some labor hours and a special price to the build.

GM Part # 10335973 for the driver side i think... can someone confirm this to be the right part? also need the passenger side and more then likely the rears too

P/N 10335973 is the pipe for the RIGHT side. The LEFT side is P/N 10425230. As far as the Rear is concerned, it looks like GM's solution is bulk line. The only thing they show is 3/16" x 20' roll. I can come up with P/N's for the rear hoses, but no pre-bent metal pipes.

[Spartan GL]

Also I need alittle bit of advice, I am replacing the rubber brake hoses with stainless steel lines (already have them including the 5th brake line)

BUT the Brake HARDLINES that run all the way to the master cylinder are pretty much not ever coming off the rubber lines (bolt is stripped beyond repair) so i remoeved the lines all the way to the MC and took them off the car, i am going to need a replacement set OEM or aftermarket is fine can anyone recommend a good replacement option?

Links are golden...

[Spartan GL]

also i know of the Buy it and bend the line yourself option.. but i'd prefer a pre-bent solution

[Kejross]

Buy a bunch of stainless line, bend and fit, and then polish to a mirror...

Just kidding, if it were me I would go to my local pullapart and pull what I needed and get it all for about $20
