61 chev 383 LS1 S475 build Thought i would start a build thread on here for my new family car. Building a street type car for drivability and hopefully long high speed powerskids. I have done 95 percent of the work myself with a helping hand here and there from Bloodbath and sourcing out tuning and gearbox build. Imported the car to Australia from the states in very original condition.

Here is a few pics of the interior before trimming and after. The thing is tidy and has no rust! I wanted the interior to still look stock as possible.

Lowered the battery tray for turbo fitment

With a lack of fab tools, this is how i had to make the log manifolds
