I feel you on the exhaust, I wish they had made the front of the frame 2inches wider, I mean if your going to redesign a frame why not give us some more room!!!

jocww - congrats on the chassis - I think it's an excellent choice. No C Notch - I am just going with a static drop and using the lowest setting for the coilovers to mount to.

Headers - yes you would think TCI would do a bump or clearance spot or something! My clearance channel works great.

Are you going with the chassis mounted booster? What motor? I had issues with the brake pedal scraping the floor and bumping into the head on my LQ4 motor. Switched to a firewall unit.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Gas tank pics attached - let me know if you need more. I used this tank and got the pump, pickup, Russell fuel line kit and corvette filter/reg from them as well:
