    47k mile GN

    Steve..and to all who have followed this build. The results are difficult to attach adequate words. This is my brothers car, and as with many of us, life directs us in other tangents, and with my Brother's strong Faith in God, has realized that this new direction means that certain things are...

    47k mile GN

    Having been there yesterday, and observing these pics of your work just a day later, I cannot deliver the appropriate words to convey my applause to what you have accomplished in just over 24hrs. I do not shower this kind of accolades without justification. I work in electronics and pride myself...

    Raced a new Viper from a 50 MPH roll.

    Great story, from Sea to shining Sea (shout out from Virginia), the Grand National threads thru the fortunate many. 87 Astroroof, digitial dash. Proud to be part of this continuing story.

    I'm ba-a-a-a-ck....

    Greetings. My brother Scott pointed me to your post today, saying he met you today (he has the 47k GN being built by Steve V in Virginia). Awesome Camaro and very interesting listening to your comments about missing your GN. I bought a brand new 2004 Corvette in 2004, paid on it for 6 years...

    47k mile GN

    I am staying focused on Scott's 47K GN at this time, and I am getting a 'boost' out of your reaction to that which you are experiencing during testing, as the sum total of this end result is certainly stirring up some excitement. I like the fact that you are getting resolved regarding future...

    I am so impressed with your attention to the interior detail, as you have already shown with the big ticket items. I am always challenged to take such a mass of wires and put some sort of semblance of order to them. Great work on the wiring raceways..as well as the spade connectors and ring...

    47k mile GN

    Thanks for the update Steve, May I ask what prompted a concern about the rear end? I recall seeing the earlier pics of your gear mesh markings. I am use to detecting the noise on the road under float/load, were you able to simulate this elevated on the rack? Or was it the result of loading in...

    Steve, I transferred the video from my phone (that you sent) to my desktop PC, with very good speakers and audio. When you went back to the rear, the exhaust was true GN and throaty. I will embed that into the documentary that we are going to do. Definitely wanted to capture that first 'life...

    PTE SLIC up pipe hitting hood pad!

    Thank you for your support and taking in all possibilities. Your build is much too important to let this just ride. I may be able to provide him (Kevin) some visual insight thru the pics I snapped, and considering taking part of the video to him, but I bet m3xico has a better angle/view. Kevin...

    PTE SLIC up pipe hitting hood pad!

    Glad to see we 'stirred the coals' a bit and the insightful comments. Thank you Steve and others who are contributing...you may set a precedence if a solution is derived thru this focused brainstorming. There are some awesome machinist out there just ready to launch out the gate. Just had a...

    PTE SLIC up pipe hitting hood pad!

    Steve, I have followed this exchange with great curiosity and interest. I appreciate the fact that you are reaching out to others, and read with interest comments that were staying grounded towards solutions, as I do not like to compromise at the expense of another significant component of the...

    Thanks for the feedback Steve. Understand about not driving in rain...in a perfect world. Just picturing being at a Cruise-in on a Saturday afternoon, down in Williamston, North Carolina (Dairy Queen, anywhere from 100 to 150 cars) every third Saturday April to Oct. and getting caught driving...

    Great views, awesome progress. In the pic 6 of 10 near the lower rad hose, is that encapsulated line a series feed to the aux trans cooler, using both the radiator and the aux cooler? Power master pics look very good. Fuel relay for the hot wire feed, is this prone to weather/water permeation...

    47k mile GN

    Thanks Steve for allowing me to be part of the experience. Dropping the body on the frame was a work of art...having marked the position of the rolling chassis and only having to shift it about an inch or so was pretty remarkable. Then improvising the special tool to shift the body and align it...

    47k mile GN

    It is difficult to reflect adequately how my brother and I are impressed with your attention to detail Steve. I wish the snow did not prevent me from getting up to your shop today. I do not know if the one's following this build are really paying attention to your passion regarding to the...
