  • Scarlett gets some overdue lovin'

    So over the past few weeks, me and my buddies Eric and Mark have been putting some work into my car to prep it for the M&G. I just wanted to share some of our more "triumphant" moments... Enjoy!


    Paint
    Wheels
    Headers
    CAI
    Wires and Plugs
    Cleaned MAF Screen

    More to come!

    Old wheel wells...





    New Wheel wells...





    Old Wheels...
    16" Chrome stockers {{For Sale}}


    New Wheels 17" X 9.5" AR Hopster Customs all the way around wrapped in Falken 275/40/R17s...








    For comparison the old 245s vs the new 275s


    Old Engine Bay...


    Pacesetter Shortie Headers with Abbots gaskets and some Copper Hit Temp Silicone sealant...



    New plugs NGK Platinum tips...(Really needed these)


    Clean MAF Screen...



    CAI and New Engine Bay showing Taylor Wires from Travis (Thanks Travis they look great!)...

    (P.S. If anyone knows how I can get the LT1 1LE Bellow to work with my throttle body or if you have a bellow that would work please contact me ASAP!





    The car needs a lot more TLC which I will give to it as I get the time. I just hope I can get it all shined up the way I want before the meet and greet. I know I have a lot of work to do yet but I hope you have enjoyed the pics!

      Love the new rims Ben. And if I don't make the M&G, you gotta come to the summer M&G.

          I used a combination of gloss black rustoleum from Kmart and cheap gloss black wal mart spray paint for the plastic. Probably the best
          $15 I've ever spent!


          Thank you for all your kind words! You have made my day. Just wait until you see what else I have got up my sleeve! I have to save something for a surprise right?

          I am so pysched to see everyones cars this year! It seems like everyone's been doing such nice work on their cars recently!
