We are about 99% complete with the engine bay and are hoping to start it up this Friday, I attached a picture of the engine bay as of right now.

 

So Bruce, am I close with my assumption?

 

Hi,
Sorry but no , we did use some of there pieces a few years ago but we are not involved with a car they have in the works. they do make nice stuff though just not in the third gen price range normally lol.
Thanks,Bruce

 

I gotta know where to get those rear end brackets!

 

I want to have this same setup in my car.

 

Looks like the braketry that Detroit speed using on their rear suspensions, cant link the pictures though

The engine bay and header/turbo placement is great... Very nice work..

The intercooler pipes and layout for the cold side could have been thought out a bit better... A lot could change and be better for room and over all air flow through the system.....

Love the color.. it'll be sharp!

 

Pretty sure we all thought that....

 

Bruce says no, but they sure look like it!

 

Even the way they sectioned the rear framerail looks like how DSE does it. Even without seeing DSE in this thread I immediately thought how they look exactly like DSE components

 

Bruce how's this project going?

 

yes i want to see more pics!!!!

 

oh how this makes me want to go out and change/work on my car.

 

huh, thought I subscribed to this last time I saw it. Anyways, love the craftsmanship, wish that either I could do this, or afford to have someone do it to my car.

 

SUB......

 

Oh yeah, but that black '89 Formula 350 with the S/C LS in the COTM column set the guy back over $50,000. Too much for my pocket. But none the less it is one gorgeous 'bird. Would I do it if I could afford it, in a New York minute I would. Too much is only dictated by what you can and are willing to afford. Yep I'd love to give the guys my "Z" and a blank check and say do it. Oh well, I love this stuff, and Bruce what you and your guys and gals are doing is awesome. Keep bringing us this level of custom work and we will keep following you.

 

Updates?

 

I love this car and check everyday for the updates

 

So slick!

 

Very slick love everything about this car, very nice attention to detail.

 

are we ever going to see the end result of this project?

 

Is this rear end combonation going to be available through Hawks to narrow your suspension or is that just a one off deal?

 

I would have kept it black buuut that wouldnt have set off the jewelry under the hood as well.
Also like the original front bumper but it will look killer when ur done!
Cant wait to see it.

 

this is a sick build. curious where Bruce came up with the green color for the plumbing, never seen it before

 

Very cool - subd!

 

Poss. this. I use it on pistons , valves , turbo stuff also.

Usually black but have dome some green

 

More updates please - it's been a couple months.

 

It's actually been over a year since the OP last posted on this thread. I am thinking this may be a dead thread.

 

Can I ask you a question how wide are these wheels and is this the stock wheel tubs thanks

 

Not sure on the wheel width, but the tires are 335, so the wheel is likely 12.5", perhaps wider.
No, those are not the stock wheel tubs. Typically 285-295 is the widest tire in the factory tub. Also note: 1) how skinny the left frame rail is. 2) they are using coil overs in the stock shock location. 3) coil over springs are smaller diameter than factory springs. 4) A larger diameter springs nothing to sit on, 5) because the factory spring perch was removed along with the "outer frame rail" / layers of steel that normally run between the factory spring and tire, and supports the bumpstop.
