I will be attacking G5. R in two stages.

~Stage one will be to put everything back together and working all the mechanical bugs out.

~Stage two will be pulling it back apart and going more radical. Think......... removing factory shock tower and replacing all of it with chrome moly tubing and filling all the spaces between the tubes with carbon fiber inserts.

Thanks Doc, I can always count on you for encouraging words!I will be attackingin two stages.~Stage one will be to put everything back together and working all the mechanical bugs out.~Stage two will be pulling it back apart and going more radical. Think......... removing factory shock tower and replacing all of it with chrome moly tubing and filling all the spaces between the tubes with carbon fiber inserts.I couldn't agree more!Joe, that new Z/28 is crazy off the hook! Looks like I will be changing plans as to the carbon fiber body pieces I am recreating. I'm still going to go forward with those but I will be replacing them with Z2/8 pieces as soon as they are available. One of my pet-peeves with our cars is the fat butt they have. The Z2/8 rear diffuser gives the appearance of a smaller rear. I love it.Thanks Dekan!Thanks broSPCBA, you can say that again, my two brothers have been helping me tremendously as we shoot for our targeted deadline.X1000Quick update: Received my Hammerhead today.............HUH?...........HEY............WAIT..........WHAT?. ..............WHAT THE !!!!!...............................HELL????
