Here is a shot of the engine in the car

 

Here are my C5 corvette brakes

 

Soon to be coilovers for the rear,also
I blasted and sprayed it with truck ben liner






I have install Founders control arm and lower panhard bar and I boxed the upper panhard bar KWB AGX shocks

 

Any updates? Loving it.

 

Wating on my brake parts to be powder coated so i can get the subfram connectors installed then ehxaust done

 

Here are some other photos the gas tank was striped and painted base clear

 

Good lord that thing is pretty

 

Thanks still wating on the power coat on the C5 brake brackets and hubs

 

Looks good! Very purdy.

Just 2 things tho...

1.) can't see in the pics but I hope you didn't fill the whole PHB support all the way down by where the 2 meet. As the PHB will literally push itself into the empty cavity in the upper bar.

2.) coil overs on the front you won't get the drop your probably thinking but ur going to prob want to support the strut tower with a STB at least. Coil overs on the rear ur going to need to weld the upper support plates to the inside frame bucket so be ready to strip the truck bed coating off and weld and paint again. Also u might want to fab up a lowering mounting the rear end side for the PHB mount. As soon as u lower it it's going to screw up the PHB angle and ur going to want to correct it.

 

Yeah i did mock up the upper pan hard bar without the springs and shocks it is close and i getting a kit that come with the plates and all just wish i had gone this way from the start

 

If you haven't got the C5 corvette brake setup from bigbrakeupgrade@gmail.com you should fits great now its on to the other side

 

 

And thanks for all the compliments

 

Man, you're going all out with the paint. It will certainly look amazing when you're done.

 

Man thanks its been a lot of hard work but it will pay off at the end

 

following.

 

Got the bottom finished should be running by thanksgiving

 

man thats a lot of red, looks good sir!

 

To nice for me!!!! looks great tho!!!
Only thing I could see that may need a change is the single fan. Swap it to factory dual fans.

 

I am looking into that and a double bypass radiator thanks i can't wait to drive it again

 

double bypass is a bad idea. Requires something like 8x the pressure and 4x the flow. Basically cuts the rad in half and requires massive flow. It’s great in circle track by they are always spinning 6k+ and have tons of pump flow and airflow.

stick to a single crossflow design, dual 1” cores and a good dual fan puller with a shroud that covers 90% of the core and ur golden. High pressure flaps are prob a good idea but not necessary. I’ve run them and haven’t and don’t see much high speed cooking differences. I’m a big fan of OE style fans as they are usually much better besides Spal and the new derale stuff. Plus the OE stuff is much cheaper and usually have a integrated plastic shroud. I use Chevy traverse fans on my 27.5” core Afco rad and they cost me like $100 new. Putting a double bypass will hurt flow and cooling.

 

great build

 

I seen people using the double pass didn't know much about them I'll stay with what I have if it runs normal temperature I'm also a fan of oem I like being able to get parts from many parts stores
