Thanks!
I'll post more pics as things progress.
Its kind of funny, almost bought a 97 SS last fall, that would have made number 3 in the white camaro collection.

looks good. I don't think you should be running that big of an engine with the 47/88...turbine is awfully small and you'll probably see backpressure issues. I'd personally limit your motor size to 360cid
I came to the realization after alot of research that I'd be well over 2:1 pressure ratio with my 366 cid so I sold my gt4788 for something a bit more matched to the motor size

No progress... trying to decide on aluma stars or magnum wheels
The wife likes the all polished magnum 2.0's and I'm starting to lean that way too

Started building the template for the frontend, as you can see there is still alot of work left, have to finish the side radius cuts, top and bottom radius. But you can get the idea, the pictures here do not do this justice, I'll have to take some better ones when finished.
