Last post before
 taking a hike...
Made a stand (from old IKEA desk) for the wing diffuser to sit on  makes it easy to slip the unit on and off without breaking the vertical fins 
NEXT  finish the exhaust tip and then the wing diffuser

This afternoon started exhaust tip box, I was going to farm it out to a professional (Dr.Fiero) but decided to do it myself
So here we go... Cut out top and bottom panels 
Welding baffles... 
Crazy angled baffles to cover up round exhaust and to look insane 
That's as far I got today just end panels left to cap tip box end
That was lots of fun to play with metal

Thanks (Mr.Freeze) Joe
I'm having fun with her
Found the honeycomb mesh she wanted just like the Solstice...CLICK HERE 
I'll be fabricating frames for the mesh
Black out clip panel just to visualize , lot more tweaking to make diffuser looking better 
Photoshop mesh is not to scale, actual mesh will be smaller 
The REAL DEAL

We had nice weather couple of days ago
had to enjoy it
My nephew and I where able to remove old suspension without snapping off any bolts, we where told not to use impact gun/ just use a longer pipe for more leverage it was very slow, but it came off smooth
Replacing it with used 13" wilwood sport front suspenion (the suspension wan't driven much at all)

Thanks Joe, that will also look mean
The new suspension went on very smooth, we got lucky
Here we are two amateur wrencher-ers celebrating job well done
Capt Fiero said to use lock tight, but it was to late  should I still put it on ?
Also I think we installed the shocks upside down/ should the valve be at top or bottom ?
