OK, I will be receiving my SL-C from Fran in mid-September. So I thought I'd get started with a build log by showing the "spy photos" obtained during it's shop phase. I will have a separate website under development and when ready for prime time, I'll post the link as well. I have a G50.50 with LSD from the 89 Turbo Carrera with oil cooler and billet side plate. My LS7 crate engine is going to Mike Malone's "MachineWorks" shop for a cam, valve-train and heads this week. Mike has had several LS engines run on the TV show "Pinks" and he worked on my Viper track engine so I trust his handiwork. Note the first set of Brembos were silver calipers and the rear discs were on reversed. The new red Brembos are shown correctly installed. The race cage is not installed yet but Fran says it will be done before shipping.

Doc, I would think this thing would be a rocket with a STOCK LS7!! You're going to have to install a spare underwear storage compartment! While I was at the shop last week I saw Dave's car which had the competiton style roll cage. It looks stout to say the least and should provide maximum protection from any angle as well as a bit of peace of mind. I'll bet you are counting the days now.
Sweet, I know you are counting the days Doc, I know I am....T-3 for me.
That LS7 should make ~585rwhp. That will be a bad MoFo when together.
I think those silver Brembos were mine I cannot remember what color I ordered. My car was pictured with red Brembos at one point which were probably yours :drunk:
After seeing Howard's car with the additional race cage, there was no way I was not ordering it for mine, especially since the car will be seeing equal time on the track.

Al,
The Ti will be powder coated. We were originally trying to get the same coating (Helios) as on the SEMA Caddy roadster. But Fran had a problem with the supplier. They would have been "one-of-a-kind" (Well, two-of-a-kind if you count the Caddy). FYI, ForgeLine makes Ti-finished wheels as well.

I see your car has the new billet rear shock mounts - very nice. I just received that upgrade from Fran the other day. I haven't compared the weight with the steel one's but they are VERY light. Gotta love it!
The rain will help wash away the drool when the car arrives - enjoy!!

Doc, Where is Lone-Oak ? I will be in Austin over the weekend and thru next week. I know Texas is a big place so when I ask how close to Austin is it I mean is it less than a hour drive?
Anybody else near Austin ? He said........ trolling for a free beer.........
