This is looking fantastic. We're definitely going to have to get a look at it this summer, one way or another!

There should be a few of us around and more than happy to meet up.

Best of luck with the hood!

Hi Grumpy 427,
Nice work. I am originally from Regina a still have friends there...Zeosix (white 01 Zo6) Ginger (Red Zo6). I was at a few burger baron/canadian tire shows last summer. Regina is hosting a corvette meet in Sept long weekend. I was in Saskatoon last weekend and LATNC5 told me about your thread and I just had to comment on your nice work.

Thanks. Well we are not having fun lol every little thing that can go wrong is. The 3" airfilter will not fit under the hood, so will have to try a 2.5" paper one or a 2" then go buy a K&N and hope it lets enough air through.

Yep...the 2" will do it.....

Ok a couple of things got finished this week. I got the lower alternator bracket corrected. I had Bernie machine me a bushing, and i got my air cleaner trouble solved. I ended up wit ha drop base bottom, a K&N 3" filter and a MR gasket flat top. Thats the only way to fit it under the hood.

Picture of flat top needed.

Dot all the carb linkage done tonight. That was quite the job, a little thought and it all works fine. The pain of using non factory parts in the name of a few HP.

Awesome, you hid your switch for the nitrous very well, I can't even see it!

When do you expect to be on the road? I guess not too soon, eh? I was in Regina this weekend and it looked like the middle of January with all the snow on the ground.

Great job on the car!!
