    Wow!!!!!!  :jumping: I can't believe the detail to this build. You guys are amazing! Keep it up!
    If I could afford it, I'd just dump my car at your shop and tell you do your thing. But you inspire the rest of us. I'm really looking forward to the products for the 3G Hemi you're working on with various manufacturers. We need all of it!

    Great stuff!

    Corvette stuff is much easier to acquire and has more aftermarket support.

    There were a few reasons we went with Corvette components.  Availability and aftermarket support definitely ranked high on the list.  Tim has worked with Corvette suspension components on past projects and he wanted to utilize the rear-mounted Tremec T-56 six speed transmission and Getrag IRS differential. 

    There is a GM name plate on the German made differential, but none of the suspension arms, uprights, etc were made by GM if that makes any difference...  :)

    Few updates-

    Received a set of 8 - 71lb/hour low impedance peak & hold fuel injectors from RC Engineering.  Very nice parts and their tech support department is top notch.

    Also, the guys at Revolution Industries did an awesome job building www.bruningautodesign.com and www.etikitchallenger.com .  Still have a few things to tune up and finish, but Adam and Ian did a great job.

    Finished up a couple loose ends with the turbo and wastegate plumbing. 

    First set of pictures show some of the steps involved in machining a set of one-off 6-bolt stainless flanges.
