The Start and ground rules

I am starting this blog as a way to document my 4th gen CMC build and also give friends a way to check the progress of the car as I work on it over the winter. As I write this I am a few steps behind in documenting the progress so I hope to soon catch up.

A Few comments before I get started. 1) I am no english major...There may be gramatical errors mis-spellings etc. I dont care!  I am just trying to document the build and am not going to get caught up in grammar and such. 2) I did not put this blog together to solicit comments from the internet know it alls. If you have some questions on how I did something or need help because you are building a CMC car feel free to ask and I will try to answer your questions. 

This is the car. A 1998 firebird that has a blown up 6 cyl engine. I paid $800 for it and It is truely a piece of crap. Perfect for a racecar. The interior is trashed, the engine is blown up but the body is solid and it does not have T-tops. I much prefer a non-Top car for my race car. I dont want to deal with fabricating a cover. Rumor has it that non-t-top cars are lighter. I dont know if this is true or not.

   The build plan is simple. I am going to use the LS1 engine with a t56 trans and use the original disk brake rear end. I am going to use Wilwood brakes in the front with a two piece rotor design. At this time I am not going to run a fuel cell. All of these sub catagories I will document in the future.
