lol - I came across it but it's crazy expensive, I think it was about $800 or so. I would have tried skinning my own part but the aluminum piece is pretty pricey as well and I didn't want to risk messing it up. Knowing what I know now, I'd be more comfortable taking a stab at skinning the...

Mario - I don’t know what my car weighs yet but I can assure you it’s much heavier than 2350lbs. Admittedly I put a lot of sound and heat blockers in the car, maybe more than typical. Race prepped and completely stripped I think it would be possible to hit that number ... maybe ... As far as...

That spreadsheet is assuming 2350lbs for an SLC, a pretty lofty goal for a street build.

Howard and I discussed this topic before I went through the registration process; got me paranoid so when I went for registration I produced literally every receipt I had down to the last nut/bolt I ordered from McMaster. It made the pinch at payment time a little more painful but since my...

Joel - yeah, I was on the fence about doing one too but the trailer we have makes it difficult to drive onto so we figured towing would be mandatory. The front overhang is pretty long so pulling on something like the rear diffuser would drive the front splitter into the ground, no bueno. If...

Yeah, a real bummer. I have some ideas on what it could be, just need time to get down to the garage and check it all out. Unfortunately Race Studio doesn't let you create your own custom gauges, you pull from the ones they have and you can change the data fields. Of the ones available, I...

Some developments ... It seems with the cooler weather my car has tended to want to stall out more when coming to idle while stopping - I'm not sure if there's any relation to the weather or if my car is "re-learning" itself some bad manners since my tune. Note that I also have a Dakota...

Could be - I bought the “Pace Peformance” LS376/525. When I asked, I was told they start out with the 430hp crate motor and swap the cams out to the 525 version. It was ~$1k cheaper than the 525 crate from GM at the time I bought it...

There's a normal place for it on the block, I did a bunch of searches online - here's an example: https://ls1tech.com/forums/lt1-lt4-modifications/915611-vin-numbers.html This may only apply to engines originally mated to full up vehicles. I scanned my entire block and found zero etched...

Mahlon - some photos of the extended footbox in Joel's build thread; think he also does a walk-around in one of his youtube videos. I don't recall seeing photos of pedals installed into a chassis with the extended footbox yet but hopefully someone who's got that setup can post a pic.

I started an instagram account some time ago and have been going through, posting photos here and there from the start to finish of this build. I just made my last build post today - phew! It’s a super condensed look of the entire build. If anyone on here is into IG, check it out. I’m not...

Hah - you got it Rich! ;) For what it's worth, I don't think the discussion we had here was a bad thing, and I really don't think the derail was in a negative direction. The original question was relatively straightforward and it could have been answered in one sentence. Instead, we got a...

Mike - no disrespect taken. I just want to make sure if you jump into this that you do so eyes wide open. I’ve been following the forum for a few years now and the few folks I’ve spoken to who were unhappy with their outcome were disappointed because (I believe) there was a misalignment...

Mike - it's not really my place to talk about your motivations for wanting to do the project, but if you're having second thoughts about constructing an SLC because of (relatively) minor body fitment issues, gelcoat color options and the costs associated with paint, knocking off portions of the...

Wow, I'm totally gutted. I'd spoken with Mark a few times while building my SLC and he was great part of this community. My condolences to his family.
