Figure I would add my build and show some progress as I move along with it. I only get to work on it here and there so progress isn't as fast as I would like but i'm having fun with it. It is a 1998 Z28 I bought back in '02 and then it sat for a little while as life happened and I couldn't come to selling. I will be swapping in a new LS3 stroker and TH400, overbuilding some things so i have room to grow into them in time. I'd like to get some more weight out and shoot for 10's to start and work on getting faster. I'm definitely open for any ideas or comments you may have.
I'll update here as I go but have more random pics here http://www.facebook.com/jr98z28

it's a custom fuel cell by Boyd Welding. I gave them the dimensions i wanted and they built it. The work is top notch

I've neglected updating my build so here's a few pictures on my process. Worked on finishing up the interior mounting the seats, belts and shifter. Still need to install the window net and a few other items yet. I started putting together a LS3 that Texas Speed did the short block, TSP heads and Cam Motion did the the cam. Hoping to run this on the dyno here this fall and get some numbers.

Finally making some progress. Got the engine and transmission in today. Need to finish up the plumbing and then wire it up to get this thing started.

Starting to lay out everything for wiring, added a bracket to the post fuel filter and did some work to the throttle body spacer and bell to fit under the hood with good clearance.
