Yeah, but thats to be expected in situations like this, trying out stuff without knowing if it works or not. I've got her pretty much totally together now, few more pics I'll post later. Just finished up some painting and cleaning and put her together. Basically some electrical and junk today.

could you open up the holes in a 650 box enough to fit hoses for a set of 34s in there?

Thanks!

I was at it four days in a row this week, the ups and downs you experience when working on these things almost drove me crazy. But today I had a nice laid back day, wrapping up things and picking at stuff, very happy with how I left her today. Now a few small projects and she'll run!

I know someone else on here has a ZR7 exhaust, and when I looked at their pics I was disappointed about how low it was. But mine ended up nice and high up on the back, I really like it. I think I'm gonna get the can powdercoated over the winter to a nice grey/black textured thing. Can't wait to see her up on the rear stand, I'll take my camera with me when I do that to get some good pics.

She's very black now. I'm not certain what to do about paint for the bodywork. I was thinking blue, a friend says black would be awesome, charcoal grey might also be good. A builder in the UK who I follow on facebook says white with green pinstriping, which might be cool but I'm afraid I wouldn't like it.

Almost there T-dub.
Coming along well.
Maybe you could try some different colours using photoshop to see what you'd like.
