Not really, I used the ATS Plates, trans crossmember, and headers, I did modify the trans crossmember, I added a longer pad to the tube,I didn't wat to redrill the subframe and move it foward, so I had a machine shop bend up the new one and I welded it on,

The parts in the pictures I have changed for more of an upgrade reasons than anything else, no leaf springs, and the hydraboost, everything else is moving right along, working one the mini tub right now, and then I'll do the DSE subrame connectors,

I'm waiting to do the Vintage air kit, I need to trim the subframe for the A/C compressor fitment,

There's tons of info in the catagory, I would pick my plate, headers, trans crosmember on how your going to drive the car, cruiser you can get buy cheaper, I plan on tracking my car, drag, autocross, track days, so I went/go with performance parts,

Hope that helps, ask anything, I'll try to answer!

Some updated pics, had the DSE coilover mounts welded on, in primer now, welded up the blower motor hole, small bulkhead pass through will fit there,

The big box in the picture is the ATS headers, they come in there own custom box, they dont touch at all, no chps nick or dings! more to come later working on cutting to fit
the tubs,

Still no word from Frank at Prodigy, SEMA must have kept him busy,

But, through this part of LS1 tech, I found the cut out from PBR or Brewer Hot Rods in Cummings GA., now another small part, that I've been looking for that is just ready to weld in, I've concentrated on the Mini Tub lately, so that where the next set of pic will be from,

I'll give a little on the car since I have sometime today,

In 1987, a friend lost this car in a divorce to his ex, well in the big picture the car was torn apart so some work could be done, that what the court and her lawyer were told.

Basically, bought the car for $200 from the mediator/lawyer in 87'. swapped all my parts on it, 12 bolt 4:10 gears, T400 built, came from a 11 sec street/drag car, shifted hard, and a newly bought 72 454 BBC, basically stock prolly 325HP, nothing special,

the car had flaired fender wells built by a guy in Daytona, nice job all metal, just not too even in the back, I'll get some old photos scanned for all to see, put the car together not too bad,wasn' a cobbled together mess, looked factory, it stayed like this till 1992 or 1994, then the tear down began........ more to follow,

Are you living in orlando these days then? I'll be visiting there in either Feb or March with my woman, you'll have to give me a tour of KSC .. I just bought a condo in Hollywood, FL. Your parts list looks great.. I need to upgrade headers (the ones I made fit great until a bump translated through an upper control arm became a primary tube reverse bump.) I love the ATS spindles and C5 brakes.. I just need a new radiator, power window kit, and time to install the Magnacharger I just bought for it.. Saving money over here in Afghanistan at the moment, i'll be back before long, though. Keep your thread updated!

Still in O-town, so you'll be living in Hollywood, getting out of the high desert???

I've got a buddy, gets great deals on parts you've listed, he can hook you up with all you want! and Norris can tune it, my neighbor has a Maggie on his vette, 550hp at the wheels,

What are you doing over there? keep your head down,

Its a GM chassis black with some flattener added, if I'd do it again, I'd just use some Nason chassis black, just pour and spray, which is a semi gloss!
