2023_ZL1-AUTO · 02-14-2026, 08:20 AM

Thanks everyone! What a journey this has been for me over the past 3 years and 3 months! Would I have done a lot of things different, for sure! Do I regret anything I did, for sure! Would I change anything I did do, Yep! Am I happy where I'm at now, 100%

But, a big thank you is well over due to all those who helped me through my journey: Z OH 6, Joshinator99, KingLT1, arpad_m, WhiteMale, LT4Greg, ZLRob, JSH, RobZL1, hawk02, radz28, and SOCAL.M6.ZLE. Also, must mention Jannetty Racing and ultimately Katech for building such a beast! Katech_Mike, Alex, Nick and the entire team build that car like they were building it for themselves. The attention to detail was over the top and they made sure not one bracket was out of place, not a scratch on any AN fitting, and not one wire tie was missing that should have held something, the build is top notch! The only thing they "missed", if you can call it a "miss". They didn't use black constant tension clamps for the CIA, throttle body and at the snout of the Maggie. But, hey, no ones exactly perfect! Also, many people here on the forum that helped along they way I'm sure I didn't motioned, but, all are appreciated!

All of you had a part in this build! Never in my life would I have expected to meet such great people that were extremely helpful to me! Let alone, that I would create a post about me buying a new car and should I swap out the taillights or not! And that post would become a car build journey I never expected ! Now 3 years and 3 months later, my original post is over with 759+ posts and 174,178+ views, and here we are! I still have quite a bit to complete once I get my car back. Install the Roll Cage, Fire Suppression System, Drag Wing, Parachute Kit, and install some new BAD AZZ Wheels I bought from Tim at Weld !

Again, thanks to everyone for your support, realty checks and constructive criticism !
