Of things to come.. (almost finished) 
She is all buttoned up and ready. Just need to finalize the overheating issues we are having with the OFI kit and we should be rock solid.

LOL thanks ya'll!!
I'll get more pics of the gauges in a bit. They are the autometer nexus series. Very costly but they sure are cool. I like the fact that you can set a predetermined value (I.e. Engine temp) and when it exceeds that value, the gauge will turn another color, so from blue to red in my case. That way, it is easy to tell when something is not running right. We did have some bad luck with autometer trying to push one over us on the gauges but it all worked in the end.
Correct, the chute mount in a wolf removable setup. As much as I would LOVE t cruise around, atleast one night, with it on I don't think it would be a wise idea with all the morons that want to tamper with it. But, I did cut a hole in license plate so I can fit the mount on while still having the plate. ( I know I'm cruising atleast one night, or two with it mounted...... Who am I kidding?!)
Also, yes the exhaust is a hooker catback. It has been coated as well as the rest of the kit. It's a single pipe, from the DP to the catback with a cutout thrown into the mix. Should sound great in person!
Um, there are no times with this setup as she is still actng up. Theblur: blthe problem we have right now is that with the OFI kit and it's radiator setup, we couldn't get the radiator to draw more coolant and it was running under level. We did EVERYTHING to make it burp and with no cap to flush with (just this silly "overflow" soda can w/ a 3/8th line) it just made it all very difficult. The thermo was checked and it's opening, we put it on a lift and shifted the car around the try to get the air out of the rad. but no avail..... In all honesty, I would preferred to run some "ugly" c6 manifolds and build the myself since I can answer for any problems... But instead I got a kit with the builder no where to be found and he STILL hasn't delieved on everyhing he owes me..... W/E, no point in crying a river over that guy but things like that is what slowed this build done considerable.
I saw a thread just now about something similar so I'm gonna check it out.
What' up Sup'?!!!! The lord of the underworld only knows who long it's been since we all started this!! Cannot believe your rolling in a vette now, what happened to that sick TA of yours? The vette looks sick. The handling is amazing, right? I picked up also a vette and it's amazing how nimble they are. Except for the stock GY that trampline over ANYTHING and a 360.00 speeding ticket I got smacked with laser, I'm loving it. Did you pick it up with those wheels? U going FI? (buhahahaha!)
Thanks for all the compliments, no up numbers or 1320 times yet but hopefully before the Mayan calender comes to an end, I'll update with more info.
And more question fella's?

Thanks! And your welcome. The color was been an issue with me since at times, I wanted to re shot it but then I don't!
It's (the color) off a Honda accord coupe "Charcoal Pearl" go figure, I guess I'm a ricer then?!

I had the same problem with that rad setup. I changed to a canton fill tank where the battery used to be. I can get it high enough that it keeps the rad filled up.
