After a five year, nut & bolt cosmetic restoration of my once decrepit coupe. I sent it to Korman for an extensive mechanical upgrade/refurbishment this year.

Upgrades included a 3.5 Stage 2, injected engine with Schrick 284 cam and ceramic coated headers, rebuilt 3.64 LS differential and re-balanced driveshaft. I had already installed an overdrive 5 speed.

Korman's work included some minor cosmetic and trim, new radiator and fuel tank.

I flew to Greensboro on Friday and drove the car home to South Florida this weekend- what a blast!javascript:emoticon(':lol:')
Laughing The car is rock solid and very, very fast- a terrific GT in the best classic style.

Have to be careful; in Ray Korman's word: "it'll suck the license right out of your wallet!"

Many thanks to Ray for an extraordinary job.

Pictures to follow- :D

Custom chipped early Motronics installed in the air filter housing, new K&N attached in front.

Motor is extremely strong and loosening up nicely, car is now having Dynamat insulation installed on the floor, firewall and doors.

More pictures when I get it back!
 
Thanks for the pics. Very impressive and pricey work.

Looks fantastic :)
What do you mean by above..?? Pictures please :D
 
BarryG: Headers are ceramic coated Stahl.

DJ: After restoration, most of teh sound deadening and insulation was removed, leaving the interior a bit boomy- installing Dynamat sound insulation to control some of teh interior noise adn heat; the heat in particular is a real problem in South Florida. Some days, the a/c jus cannot cope.
