Been waiting since February for a roof from Allthingsslingshot.com . Was hoping to have it on by the middle of May but that seems unlikely now.

In all fairness, Kevin has kept me informed about the delays. Last I heard, two weeks ago, just waiting for powdercoating then it will ship.

This stupid Covid thing is slowing everything Bikerdiver erdiver

Bikerdiver,

Ouch! Don't envy your position with your overdue order. I had ordered a top in the beginning of Dec'19 withbhim and was promised 2 weeks for shipping (this long before any C19).

Kev with Allthingsslingshot is a great guy. Though, I could tell something was up. Way too much lack of communication. Toward the end of January (long before any C19). Ended up disputing my Paypal payment to get a refund. Glad I went another route for my top. Out of fairness. Kev did do a great job with my DDM Rotrex SC order last Summer. Hope he gets his operation up and running smooth because he is a good guy.

Looks nice.

Price is a bit steep but.......

Wonder if the cage is as heavy duty as some of the other better ones?

Also, the rear end part does seem excessively long.. Kinda fugly on that portion...

Maybe it doubles as a wing and does that duty too.?.?.?.

Thanks for sharing,

Webby

Sweet pics all!!

Nice ride!

wickedwebby Holy smokes! Look at those drive shafts for CVs! Are your half-shafts larger than your drive-shaft?

P.S. Looks great!

Thanks Airborne,

Yes, as Wokka said. Trackhamr Corvette rear end. Drive shafts are stout!!! Troy custom made my transmission to rear-end full drive shaft because he was between vendors. That is not as large in diameter as the halves but super solid (very HD).

Wokka,

Thanks. Haven't had any scraping yet. My driveway has a pretty steep angle curb ramp. Haven't heard or felt it touch down yet (been listening). Though, I am always turning up/down vs straight on.

I did previously have an angle cut straight silencer tail pipe on the bottom of my muffler (where the mandrel bend attaches now) and I took that off because I could hear it scrape (🤞🤞). I am going to measure my clearance just cuz I am curious. I will report back.

Ed and Funcycle,

As far as tops go. To each there own on style and brand I suppose. I like the solid build of the Bullet speed design Vback roof. Like the look with the convertible canvass on. Not crazy about the roll cage look with the canvas removed.

Thanks all,

Webby

I just finished a custom tail pipe on my SC'd Quad SS going from my race exhausts standard OEM exhaust exit point (front left tire) to the rear.

Loved the sound, but much louder than the wife approved of inside the cockpit. Also, since adding my convertible roof. Been wanting to make sure the exhaust fumes stay behind me/us.

Had a local custom exhaust place mandrel bend a long tailpipe to exit the rear. I added a powdered coated exhaust tip (just for the look).

Was worried it might get too quiet. Not the case. Still plenty of bark, just not as crazy loud.

Very happy with the results.

Yee haw!! Happy Bday!!

Love my SS. Applaud all of my older SS brothers/sisters here!!!

WW

Ya, hope that rumor is bad info...

WW

Thanks John.

Thanks for your input all.

Webby

Those look good! Thanks.

I am guessing 20x10.5...

Do you know what off set for our Corvette rear- end ?? 45 °

I am guessing ??

Webby

Speaking of wheels.....

(sorry for the off-topic/hi-jack).

I have debated powder coating my front OEM SL wheels black.

Anyone have any recommendations for some budget friendly aftermarket rims 20×10 or 10.5's, black, that closely resemble/match the OEM SL's rims? Then I could add some wider rear rubber..

Thanks for any input,

Webby

Sorry I wouldn't .

In the future.... Wouldn't trade any $$$$ for anything from them.

Just me,

WW

dcarhart,

I agree. I'd pay for a good alignment.

That is definitely one of the finished products of the kit.
