I got my D1SC and A&A bracket for my build last week. It will be a while before Ithe project is done, but I am trying to exercise some sort of control on this one...especially since a kid is on the way...haha

Looking forward to more updates!

I would like to say those are words of a wise man, but prepping the underside of the body isn't my idea of fun. LOL Just kidding, your so right. Some day I hope to look back and say wow.

I haven't made much lately, but i'm hoping getting the engine will be the shot in the arm I need. The LS Fest will be here before I know it and it's going on it's own or on a trailer. LOL

No pics but, i just got the tranny in and the crossmember modified. It's bolted up and ready to move on. Now everything should start coming together a bit quicker.

Thanks Derek. Got some things done today and tomorrow I plan on getting more. The LS Fest is creeping up on me quick. I still need to order those afco's. PM me a number to reach you, just in case I don't have it.

I have a nice HP LS1 EFI system for sale. It could make itself right at home in your car

PM sent.
