Holy fuck, welcome back shithead. Did Cone summon you back from the dead to take the heat off him and his car? No one can top your phonaro in that department.

I've actually just been busy dealing with important stuff. Grandfather had some medical issues pop up so I decided to come up to help him and my grandmother through it. He ended up needing to having open heart surgery (2 valves plus a bypass in an 8.5hr surgery) and he is still recovering after 4 months.

GF decided to cheat on me while I was up here. So I've been having fun blowing all the money I saved to buy a house with her on car parts in my free time when I'm not with my grandfather. GTO-aro should be quite nasty once I finish her up.

I'm aiming for 3,000lbs, ~650rwhp with a 8,000rpm redline.

LS7 based 442, Mast Black Label Heads w/ harrop ITB intake
Mantic Twin 9000 clutch
Quicktime SFI bellhousing
PPG sequential T56
PST carbon driveshaft
DSS stubs
Two-Step

Proper splitter/wing
Maverick Man carbon hood

18x9 Apex Wheels (12lbs a corner lighter then factory)
Square 285/30 18s
Re-done quarter panels with the lip rolled all the way up then spot welded.

Dual3in stainless mandrel bent catback

Obligatory Car and GF Pics.

Being a photographer has its benefits. Everything is well documented.

Out of curiosity, is it your job or hobby?

My wife has been at it for over a year now and just got a d610 and sold her d7100. She does portrait photography and is looking for a new full frame lens for the camera.

portrait lens... 85 f/1.4 or bust.

and yes on the GT3 brake ducting. 30 bucks a set and they work on pretty much any modern suspension setup. its a huge pain in the ass to do actual ducts without hacking everything all to hell. Here's what it looks like installed from underneath.

Portrait lens
35mm f1.8
70-200 f2.8

That art lens is a bad mofo. Everyone i know with one has said that it was made of magic. They were hard to get for a while. IDK if they've managed to catch up on production now or not.

That's good news. I know next to nothing about the photography stuff. They are available from B&H right now. That's where we got the d610. Used with less than 1000 shutter count, for $1310. Her d7100 had 26k and we bought that new a year ago lol
