Just finished reading through the entire thread. Great build dude!

Great information here that is going to help me on the LS1 swap I'm undertaking in my '69 Chevelle, also going to be a daily driver.

Man, I remember that part of my build. Sucks waiting on someone else to do work on your car.

I hate the waiting game... I havent had the car for months... I hate body work, but i think i could have finished it by now. Oh well. Hopefully soon.

The infamous right hand drive master cylinder needed for big brake swaps. Complete bolt on! 1 inch bore just like the corvette the calipers came from.

update on the car..

The shop the car was at started getting a bit shady about progress on the car and i wasnt comfortable with them finishing the car. Long story short, I got the car home. Im out some money and material, missing a few parts, but Im moving forward to get this thing done..

Fast forward a month (I know, long time between updates..sorry about that)

The car is with the painter I should have used in the first place.. We had to strip most of the work that was done and for good reason.. you could literally peel off primer with a razor blade. Now a month into him having the car, he's redone the body and made chicken **** into chicken soup. I am very thankful for what Dfw Retro Garage has done with this car.

pics to follow..

Sucks to hear about the trouble with the first paint shop, but it looks like it is in good hands now.
