Build thread: Saving a GT500

[WireEater]

Avalanche grey... beautiful color and easier to look and keep clean.

I say go nuts with a fresh canvas like that. I would be looking into something custom like a Root Beer brown bronze type thing. Then I would play with the finish on the on the badges maybe like a burnt copper or whatever.

Looking good. Glad to see it saved

satin white has my vote. would look amazing on your gt500.

 

[Laffs]

Satin white with gloss black wheels would be hotness.

No big updates. Enjoying the car with family in town. Tear down begins in September. Cams showed up and the shelf of parts is looking good

Nice work, just keep the updates coming, as soooooo many of these stall and we never get the finished product. Great save though and to do it back correct as well.

What is this?

White is still the plan. Going to pick up some paint and do test panels in the next couple weeks to make my final decision

FIFY=fixed it for you. Meaning he changed the quote to read gotta have it green.


White gets my vote. I am in the same boat as you: classy and simple

Says the guy with an Atomic Orange Z06.;-) BTW the best color.

Family left town. Still have some other projects before I complete before diving into this. But I got the blower and stuff off and it should be sold tonight. Played with the fuse box and computer to clean that area up. Going to keep it accessible instead of in the fender. The harness on the valve cover will move and the battery is going in the trunk. So those cables will disappear as well

Was very fortunate that a local buddy had just gotten an Eaton ported by Jokerz and ended up buying a whipple. He held on to it while I found a buyer for my stock blower, TB, intake and injectors. It also came with a 2.6 pulley (I already have one). Once I sell the pulley it'll be an even swap price wise!!!

I'm going to port match the opening and clean up the inside of the VMP elbow I have. Adding a 10% lower with the 2.6 and port should make for a healthy combo

Mike

Hard to capture in the pics. But the VMP elbow is quite larger. The short radius is much improved. Along with the overall inner diameter. Notice my high tech measurement comparison:

Had a productive afternoon. Finished stripping the engine bay for the most part. Still have to pull the brake booster and abs module. Then fill a few holes and prep for paint. After that the fun stuff begins with installing the cams, 10% lower and exhaust

The 3M satin white vinyl showed up. Waiting for a big box from VMP as well as the tune

Cams are going in tomorrow night and then it's onto cosmetics and assembly
