My trans is going into the 88. Yours will go into #702.

Re: 88 ZR1 EX5023 Thread
 

ah cool, did not know you had one too

Re: 88 ZR1 EX5023 Thread
 

All I can say is WOW! Very nice.

Re: 88 ZR1 EX5023 Thread
 

Yes. I bought one and converted it to ZR1 specs, bought yours, and also had one from P9Y078.

Re: 88 ZR1 EX5023 Thread
 

I've been working evenings on my car and working on 53-55's during the day. Very exhausting lately. Had to get this thing done in time for BG though. Thanks to Jerry's Gaskets, Marc Haibeck,Jim Voter and Pete!, I will have everything I need to install the drivetrain this weekend....finally.

You really had a great vision, now coming to life

Re: 88 ZR1 EX5023 Thread
 

Your progress is awesome! I enjoy watching this car come back together.

Re: 88 ZR1 EX5023 Thread
 

Well, finally got the PhaseII LT5 installed today. The trans will be installed tomorrow. Pics to follow.

Re: 88 ZR1 EX5023 Thread
 

The door handles and door glass are now in. We installed the hood and adjusted the front bumper today. Now, onto the sanding and buffing tomorrow. The headlights will go in tomorrow, also. I need to get this thing home and detalied before next Wednesday.

Pretty dusty but I just had to take some pics with the hood installed. I worked pretty hard to get the panel fitment right.

Nice work Brett! The finish on that car is sweet and it's not actually finished.... it's going to be one sharp looking ZR-1. =D&gt;

I really can't wait to see it at the NCM!

:cheers:
Tom


I just gotta say that you have some mad skills!:thumbsup:

Re: 88 ZR1 EX5023 Thread
 

So have you had any inquiries about buying it?

Re: 88 ZR1 EX5023 Thread
 

Nope. Hardly anyone in that type of market knows about the car........yet!

Re: 88 ZR1 EX5023 Thread
 

Finally got it home from being sanded and buffed. Emblems, headlights and windshield banner now in place. Only have to install the B pillar weatherstrip and it's ready for Bowling Green!:woohoo::woohoo:

Did Geoff have the build sheet that was in the frame? It would have the kick in after information on it.

Tyler

Re: 88 ZR1 EX5023 Thread
 

He didn't have it. The original comsole looks exactly like the unbroken one I have in it now. My build sheet copies do not say when to kick it in.

Dunno????????

Re: 88 ZR1 EX5023 Thread
 

Way to go! It is Beautiful!!! Just got back on site to check out the progress. Very impressed! Way to go!! Pictures are Great!

Re: 88 ZR1 EX5023 Thread
 

It was a great weekend at the NCM. I got to realize my goal of having my car on display with the exterior complete. The next time it enters the NCM, it will be under it's own power. :cheers:

Re: 88 ZR1 EX5023 Thread
 

Brett,
EX5023 is absolutely outstanding. I still can't quite believe you were able to accomplish so much from so little in such a short period of time.

I so glad to have finally met you in person and am looking forward to seeing you again soon. Please let me know if I can help you with anything to finish up. I found the prototype alternator fan guard & will take a photo for you. If you want it, just say so.

Re: 88 ZR1 EX5023 Thread
 

Thanks, Jerry. I'd love to have the guard and will paypal whatever the cost is.

I will be taking a small break from working on the car. I have other committments to tend to in the shop.

Parts still needed:

Heater hoses (I do have the thermostat housing)
AC lines (not critical to start the car)
Oil cooler lines
relays for fuel pump
Fuel tank
Fuel lines from tank to pump
02 sensors

Tom, you are amazing! I'll take them, for sure.:cheers:

Re: 88 ZR1 EX5023 Thread
 

:mrgreen: I told you Brett, you are one of us now! We help each other when we can. Besides they are used, no codes mind you but I just felt the age said change them out? They work so far as I know just fine. I'll dig them up and try to get them mailed out this weekend for you.

:cheers:
Tom

Re: 88 ZR1 EX5023 Thread
