- The time has finally come and the C8 is ready for paint once we finish some final prep work!
This episode covers the installation of the trans axle mount, the new Aeromotive water pump and de-burring the entire chassis of any sharp pieces of metal.
As we dropped off the C8 with Hector, we also picked up the C6 competition Corvette after he spent a solid week refreshing the chassis. As he gets the C8 painted nice and glossy, we will shift our focus to a full refresh of the C6 before testing begins!
Big thanks to everyone for following along as my team and I transform this flood damaged C8 Corvette into a full Formula Drift spec drift car!

It's dumb how little attention this build has gotten. EDIT: Also, this is why I appreciate FD so much, you have Von who has a literal nascar complex, vs Matt who has a classic shop and they are sill competing for championships.
man I just found this channel and I'm excited to see where this build goes. crazzzzzzy
You got to get it together the rest of the year in FD good job bro
lovin this series been watching since ep 1 cant wait to hear this thing fire up and see her slide
OMGGGGGG Y LOVE CORVETTEEEEEEE
I Still love the c6 pro car for some reason it just holds my heart 😂 still one of the best builds in the world next to Daigo’s C6
That's a badass cross brace.
That a very smart thing to do about all of the spot welds, tab corners, mismatched body panels, and thighs that are not flush cleaned up. I remember seeing and hearing about the Chevy inner bedside spots people would just tear fingertips shredded
Hell yeah Matt and the team! I’m getting excited for Long Beach already man good luck with everything guys love this project and always enjoying watching your guys content. Hope you guys all stay well!👊🏻
C8 was my one of my dream car I was very happy to see this as drift car . Bro please update every vedio on TH-cam after project complete now on words I was keep on following u . From India
I can't wait to see this project finished!
Let's Goooooooo! Hells Yeah! 💯💪🏽💯
Would definitely like to see a street version manual swap....maybe some day it will happen
If you guys make this a service going forward for the c8 owners then I’ll definitely send in mine to get this done.
Just started the video in your welding the new plates that connect your new transmission mount to the chassis, but I thought it was gonna get sent out to be iodized
Crank that voltage, like bacon Poppin on the stovetop
Everyone whos got a drift built supercar should link up for one big tandem....Chelsea's porsche counts too right? But either way that would be a sick video
Aww baby getting that C6 prepped! Looking forward to seeing you perform in Long Beach! Let's go!
Matt - Any chance ill see you at Gridlife Midwest?
Will this car be at irwindale?
8:56 🤣🤣🤣
Is this going to be the fd car this year?
Plumb bob
So is this car going to be your pro FD car?
I don’t think it’ll be his pro car, the Borla C6 is already fine and dandy as is, I think this could be another project car for whenever, or a backup pro car.

Anyone wanting to do the same.
I have a c8 roller minus engine transmission. For $14,000
It has aftermarket 20-21 wheels and tires with brakes.
Comes with interior 2 dashes and center console with steering wheel
It’s a lt2 all electrical wiring is still in it.
been a month
Paint won't stick to sharp edges.....
Penetration? Stop talking nasty bro I'm welding here.
This is how a race car should be built. I don't get why people spend mega dollars on race versions of supercars. They are too expensive to race and not as serviceable as this kind of car. It is still a C8 Corvette, but an actual race version.
These videos would be a quarter as long if he didn't repeat himself 4 times on everything.
It's a plum line
