    I reconsidered my fuel system and with the support of ROBB MC i was able to return my brand new robbmc pickup srnding unit and i ordered Robbs
    POWERSURGE 1000 + a matching bypass regulator.
    _20170630_173841.JPG _20170630_173820.JPG  further i finaly put in the new front tie rods, ball joints and a new centerlink..
    I took the chance and cut my springs for more lowering..
    They say 1" lowers 2 inch etc.
    Well it lowered for sure.. The look is great and i still have great bottom clearance even with my longtubes, but i think in consideration of a decent ride i take out the rear spacers on hope to level the car up in the front! If that dont work i ll put in some 0.5 coil spacers.

    Found some time to fab some IC mounts..
    Simple and sturdy weldet them in with big seams. Not pretty but will keep it in place i bet.
    On the bottom i want to build a styrofoam stop inside of the bumper to possibly dampen the IC.

    Was out of town for business and a lot of goodies arrived. Wife was as expected pissed haha.

    I got a lot of 90 degree couplers etc to mock up the IC piping. My meassurements where correct.
    i will be able to route them through the core support in the engine bay.

    Christmas in July yahoo, did you take the power valve out or is it supposed to work that way. You are not supposed to take the power valve out of the front. 4 corner idle good choice!

    Why is the wife pissed she does not like performance or are you spending your money in the wrong place? Tell her you will trade her in for another Buick that should go over well lol.

    I had time today to finaly assemble the IC setup as well as tge fuel system update!
    I cut holes in the core support to feed the IC piping in the eng. Compartement and i fabed brackets for the Robbmc powersurge 1000 im using and installed it plus a boost referenced bypass regulator

    It also gave me space to paint the core support and lower frame with por15 chassis black to seal it. _20170723_114929.JPG _20170723_114912.JPG _20170723_114856.JPG _20170723_114842.JPG _20170723_114821.JPG

    Today i pulled out my bench to see about my seat combo.
    2004 GTO seats front and back are my choice. Im trying to figure the best way to install them
    The front brackets obviously need fab work and custom brackets. Im sure i can achieve that.

    The rears need trimming and since i read alot on chevelle forums i know that i have to trim the bottom section of the rear backrest to clear the rear window.
    The bottom section need to mounted to the floors somehow..
