Screamin Lizard Forums: Project Mean Green

Message

   A big part of any all-out custom build is getting started: selecting and a**embling the main components.  Bigger still is completion - bringing everything together and making all the parts work together.  That's what we were tasked to do with this extreme-green TJ build-up.
Critical specs:
LS6 Corvette crate motor
Turbo 400 Transmission
Atlas transfer case
Taking delivery of the Jeep

I think this is about 1/3rd of the parts...

We'll be using PSC hardware in the power steering a**ist:

The interior - started pretty bare.  Note Poison Spyder's cage.  Corrbeau seats added complete with harnesses.

The heart of the beast - still a lot to do but this aluminum Corvette motor should provide plenty of power.

(tight against the firewall)

Full custom exhaust in progress...

(muffler mock-up next to the atlas)

I'll try to keep this as up-to-date as possible. 
Thanks!

	As promised, more pictures of Extreme Green. Purple woven composite look for the center dash bezel: More green! Coilovers - I think we may swap the setup around a bit... More detailed view of the motor: The bezel from earlier installed - still a ways to go on the rest of the dash: View from the rear, check out the backup light and carrier setup.. More pics to follow...

	Glad you were here to see first flex! Still some dialing in to do, but it's come a long way.
