Yeah, I know about those pieces. Is there something made to replace the windshield washer fluid tank? Can you use the "overflow" tank there as well? Forgive me if this seems ignorant. But, I really would like to know.

Even though I have been busy putting my engine in my car I am kinda forced to make some of these products, such as the ac delete for my gauges and outside ac delete. I actually cant wait to introduce these products.

I think ethans comment earlier wasn't totally nec. Yes, The tornado/razor/everything else is just a big freakin joke. they do very little to nothing, I've seen a few dyno tests that prove it, But the idea of this site is to help each other out, not argue about menial **** like that. We're all on the same side here, no?
Also, Z, give us a bit of a budget, how experienced you are with cars or what you can do at your place, I'll start looking around for some simple upgrades that would help,my cousin has a decent 330rwhp v6 camaro that he's been working on, I'll ask him as well. Good luck, and stay away from the tornado, and... lambo doors? neyah..
Oh yea, and I'll be ordering an ac pannel soon, and hows the dual fan setup comming btw, I'm patiently waiting :-)
Thanks nelapse,

Ok I have a job no real limit on money but I'am saving right now so It will be a month so I can get money saved and buy alot of parts at one time or one expensive, whichever comes first. Plus I just finished paying my dad off so... I have access to almost any tool, my dad has over 50k in tools and my uncle is a mechanic and can borrow stuff from there. I can take my car to my dads work or uncles to work on it or do simple things in my driveway. I know a good amount but I'm not just going to go out and rebuild an engine alone. Thanks

The thing that sucks is I have no fan to mount on it to test it. I just hope when i mail them out they will fit fine... As for the AC delete you can send me your order anytime since they are custom to your gauges or whatever you want. Mine is made with two 2 1/16" gauges i havent decided whether or not to use indicator lights or not, or even switches, could come in handy since my radar dect is hardwired.
PM me what you want and it will be shipped by monday.

I need a custom piece made for my dual fan setup. I have the Spohn adjustable wonderbar, a larger than stock radiator, and of course the dual fan setup. This combo doesnt work. With the radiator at 2 inches wide I had to space the bottom of the fans about 1" to 1 1/2". I dont remember how far right now, but because I had to push the fans back I was going to ask if you could make a new lower mount that has the mounting points up about an inch and a half and to make new fan mounts. The fans have a 3 leg piece that can be removed, so if you made something like the plastic ones but make the bottom legs a little shorter everything should then clear.

Yeah I plan on running 4th gen seatbelts and at the bottom they just have an anchor like the other side of the buckle in between the seat and console. I have been trying to figure out what I was going to do with that big gap, this should solve it

Yeah aluminum will be fine as long as they are sturdy. I dont know about price, Jim85Iroc was trying to buy them from a company that makes them for other vehicles but they kept screwing up sending him the wrong ones. I think they were supposed to be around $50 a pair or something like that. I would be willing to pay $75 I think. Maybe a little more if they look good. I know all the other people here want fancy things integrated but I just want plain. And the hardware should be stainless, lol

nelapse, Im over in Fort Stewart, about 25-30 minutes away from savannah. If you want to get some ideas for LS1/T56 swap cars you can look mine over. Not really sure what I need made but maybe you can come up with something.

the swap is a great idea, but who would want to pay the money even if it was worth it?

[/QUOTE]SS might be out of the question, maybe... the stock is very expensive and it takes special tool to cut it... its hardcore strong. Plus you cant really polish it because of the corrosion preventative they add.... they pour acid to create a type of corrosion that protects gaainst corrosion.... oxy moron aint it? lol
i could polish it but you lose the protection and may rust.

Yes and no.. they have been templated and prototyped and not yet test fitted. also I do not know what to sell them for... trying to make a poll of how much they are worth to you
i am not trying to get rich, it takes alot of time, I iam a one man business, I am constantly doing favors for people, and in the middle of an engine swap...
normally how it works, my parts have a turn around date... someone pays me then I stop what i am doing and make the part and ship it by a negotiated date. Feel free to place an order... I have no orders as of yet, except a few prototypes i promised people which have no been forgotten :P

i've been poring over cardomain and tgo looking for pictures of the door sills and it seems no one takes pictures of this area! as i've never seen any in person i don't know if there is a slot or not i've just been told there is. about the only decent picture i could find. if i'm feeling better tomorrow i'll try and make it to the shop and mock it up for you and get measurements.

Axle/Gears: 373s in the bird
i see ur point, but maybe change up the style, such as, instead of the fins, maybe more like a tube type shape going across then shape it a bit to flow with the shape of front of the car. A friend made one, and it look really good at a distance, but it got ugly when u was up close to it. but i did like it. i dont have no pics though.
