Chevy will probably send You a letter about how impressive work that You had done to Your Car. If Not, Shame On Them! LOL!

Id love to get a letter from Chevy on this.. Id be even happier if I got a job with them haha.

As for when the car will be out, I need some friggen wheels.. They've been on order with sueprbuytires from california since december and I just found out they were screwing me over.. They have my money as well so I might be out 2500 bucks!!!!!!!!! erg.

I have to order a new set this week from wheels for less in Vaughn ontario. Once I have wheels im on the home stretch!!.. The things left I have to do are:

- Install rear main seal and new oil pan gasket (3 beer job)
- Finish all wiring (50% done) (6 beer job)
- Finish Steering (95% done) (1 beer job)
- Finish off securing the air intake (1 beer job)
- Mount the Power steering fluid resevoir (1 beer job)
- Route Brake Lines (4 beer job)
- Route Fuel Lines (4 beer job)
- Build Exhaust (couple beers)
- Build Roll cage (might not do this right away, will just drive slow ) (sunday job at work)
- Find some outer tie rods that screw onto the steering rack but still bolt into cobalt knuckles.(couple beer job for Napa auto parts )
- Finish rear end mounting of air struts (4 beer job)
- Install Air ride and Battery (6 beer job)
- Install Interior (not required to do burnouts )
- Weld in new Nut`s for rear seat mounting (1/2 beer job)
- Get alignment
- Get E-test (not looking forward to this)

This is going to be sick once you get it finished.

Also I'd lawyer up and have them send that company a letter 2500 is a pretty good sum if they're just stealing it from people expecting rims/tires

Yea I already threatened with that, so hopefully they sent it friday... This is the worst company I've ever had to deal with, no clue how they've been in business for 20+ years.

Turbo it, but good luck fitting a turbo in that engine bay. You'll have to pull a supra mod and make the turbo stick halfway out of the hood.

you could probably fit a remote turbo on there but putting twins somewhere on that thing is gonna be a tight fit lol

They tuck them under the manifolds so tight it almost doesn't take any room haha. Biggest part of the job would be figuring out how to get the charge pipe on the throttle body
