Today, we finished work on our client’s titanium rear section for the C5 Corvette (yes, it was never really going on a Prius).
The last pieces to be welded before the fitment took place were two small bypasses by the mufflers. They’re not very large, but titanium welds always look impressive. It almost looks like we melted a bit of the T-1000 onto the piping:
We also had to craft a new rear half of the midsection, connecting the old pipe to the titanium rear section. As always, the craftsmanship is second to none, and the welds speak for themselves. It’s a good thing we don’t have robots welding our steel; compared to the work put out by human hands, we would have probably fired the robots by now:
Even though the muffler tips look pretty stock and unassuming, this car is anything but. Rocking an entirely redone engine from the blueprinted LS2 block all the way up, this Vette is built for one thing, and one thing only — racing. Judging by the exhaust note, though, it might also be built for scaring small children, which is something that Fluid MotorUnion does best. Hide yo’ kids, hide yo’ wife:
Given that we started the Corvette indoors with the new rear section for the first time, we managed to turn the fabrication garage into a deleted scene from the latest Cheech and Chong movie, minus the munchies. Another way to tell that this Corvette isn’t your standard-fare “look at me on public roads” automobile is the amount of meat on the tires. Those things aren’t built for putting between gas stations; they’re meant for hitting apexes and controlled oversteer. Overall, this is one mean machine to have in the garage, and it was fun while it was here, but we know that Graham will have way more fun with it than us:
