We got a few things done today. Ac on, alternator on, power steering on, cut hole for shifter, put clutch and bell housing on and headers on and few other little things.


stencil for where to cut for M6 shifter




Plasma baby



See


LS7 clutch






LOL get it james


Pacesetter Headers



Ac/alternator/power steering on the car. We got held up because of the Ls6 pulley and we didnt have the right puller so we didnt put the water pump on due to being easier to get to pulley.

thats something new to me. paint the intake to match the car. i dont think ive ever seen a painted intake. i guess cuz the surface of LSx intakes is really rough its probably a bitch to prep for a good paint job.

Woah-that is my car. Didn't know you frequented LS1tech too Dan, glad to see you on both forums. Everything looks amazing so far can't wait to see it. Only corrections I have are its probably considered "low mileage" (60k), and the headers are jet-hots not pacesetters. The missing parts have all been shipped and should be there early this week like I told Levi, so you guys should be back in business!
