Default Update: Grand am rolex gt c6 build

While I was up at the ARRC at Road Atlanta, my chassis builder made significant progress on our Rolex GT C6 'Vette build. (PREP 2 TUBE FRAME)

The the front and rear clip are essentially complete and much of the center section also up to shoulder level. No hoops/halo or nascar door bars yet. Much is only tack welded at this point as stuff may still have to be moved. The body is temporarily hung, from doors back.

Also:

* upper and lower control arms in (HOWE)
* steering rack in (SWEET)
* mock up motor layed in for fitment
* mock up tranny in (WILL BE EMCO 4 SPEED)
* SPEEDWAY 9 inch rear end layed in for fitment

Already have the PENSKE shocks, hubs, coilovers kits, clutch/bell housing, reverse mt starter, driveshaft, strut rods, watts link, pedals, master cylinders, SWEET collapsable steering column, headers

NEED: billet 4 piston calipers, PFC rotors, and the Schwanke Racing LS6.

Might have some photo's tonight.

"Bosco"

If you need any drivers, keep me in mind. Hopefully I'll win the lottery one day (which I don't play) and get back into building my own cars.

Good luck with the build! GA needs some Vettes!

Thanks Dave, will do.

From the exterior I think this thing is gonna look like a T1 vette, but all business underneath.
