A couple of weeks ago we got 4 cars in from a dealership in North GA for our signature series packages. We got 1 mustang, 2 fiestas, and 1 focus. I Started working on the Mustang firs, it got lower control arms, cold air kit, tuner, short throw shifter, upgraded front and rear swaybars, lowered springs, struts, shocks, exhaust, 20x9.5 275 20x11.5 315 rims tires, decaling and leather seating. Heres some pics of the pile of parts and some of the car. I Got the other cars finished just waiting on the Brembo brakes to come in so I can finish up the Focus. Its crazy how many brand new take off parts go to scrap all in a quest for performance.

Next on my chopping block, she is getting Kooks longtubes, full magnaflow exhaust with center exit diffuser, some body bracing, cold air kit with tune, short throw shifter, chrome moly toe links and trailing arms, poly rear sub frame bushings, sway bars. Snapped a pick of the Kooks headers for the Camaro very nice and they fit great. I have to say from a mechanics point of view the camaro is extremely easy to work on. Unlike the old Fbodies.

Finished the Camaro sounds pretty good. Me and the owner went for a ride and it sure sounded nice at WOT and the car handles very good for such a big car.

Wow, those have a lot more room for exhaust than my 2002 does. What size are the primary tubes on those headers, 1 7/8"?

I think they were 1 7/8 or 1 3/4. The new camaro is night and day when it comes to room under the hood and between the frame rails.

This is the Q450 I just finished up today it ships out next week. I love this color combo and the suspension I installed makes this thing a beast on the road course. It got the works LOL. Cold air intake, tune, Boss intake manifold, billet pulley's, big sway bars with billet mounts front and back, stainless exhaust, sport springs, shocks, struts, billet heavy duty strut mounts, strut tower brace, billet hood brackets and struts, billet lower control arms, wheels tires the backs are 315/35 20's, rear wing and a watts link setup to make it go around corners like its on rails.

I actually have 3 jobs I teach autotech at the technical college from 8 to 12 4 days a week. Then I work 1230 to 330 and all day Friday@ steeda and last but not least 4 to midnight on Moody airforce base as fuels technician for Maytag aircraft corporation. I was just doing Maytag and working out of my own place after I retired from the Airforce 2 years ago. But I wasnt staying busy enough to support my racing habit so when I got called out of the blue by Steeda and the Tech school I decided to jump on board I can tell you I am plenty busy now lol. I am turning work away now at our shop and only take in work that I want to do.

Cool pics. It does sound like you're busy but it also sounds like you're doing what you love to do. Clay
