yep, mill/lathe aluminum brackets galore among other things

if you really want to know about the ignition i can find out, guy who owns the garage is my boss, he lets me use his garage and is showing me how to build motors....good stuff....that vette is very modified, if you look in one of the pictures there is 2x4 boxed steel on the ground, he fabbed his own frame/motor mounts, steering, pretty much everything...its a SD system that he is tuning himself.....it's all custom fabbed....

It looks exactly like the Electromotive TEC-II engine management system.
