Looks like a solid platform to start with and with the mod list you have created, it should look awesome when it's all said and done. Have fun with it and keep us updated!

holy **** that car's in rough shape!

my only suggestion.... dont do the !weatherstripping, you kinda need those so your windows arent leaking water and when you go to close the door it dosnt shatter againt the top part..... and also around the hatch so your not getting crazy windnoise while driving....

How many miles are on it?

93 was an odd ball year for the LT1 because it still used the 700R4. I probably paid as much for the TB, throttle cables and brackets when I did my LT1 conversion in my 90 TA as you did for that car....those parts are very HTF!
