I don't have much in the wheels at all, but if I'm not mistaking they're around $900 per wheel new....i believe I have roughly $800 in the whole set due to my dealings on here and locally 
The tires on them are shot, but the wheels are in great shape. I've got one or two small spots of curb rash that will buff right out, but other than that they're great.

Video will come shortly, i'm going to wait until it's all back together 
I got me a new laptop today Hp Tuners was installed immediately and i started tinkering. I didn't do any tuning, but i did make a log file of it idling, just while i was playing around. I did manage to get my LC-1 sync'd up and working. i need to brush up on the advanced tuning methods since my car is tuned in speed density, but i (knock on wood) don't think i'm going to have a difficult time with the tuning. it seems somewhat second-nature but i definately need to familiarize myself with the software and what it is capable of

i haven't had the pleaure of being in a car show lately, but i did a tranny swap for a kid last week and he brought a couple friends over when he picked his car up. they waited for me to bring it back from the body shop, so they got to see it run first. they nearly crapped their pants when i pulled in to the driveway

thanks i may have to get your number lol incase i get stuck on something or atleast i can have it so i can call/text ya one day to have you remind me why/what in the hell have i gotten myself into lol
you are seriously killing me with anticipation. Where is the video? The only problem I can foresee is that hearing your 454 is going to make me want to build one. I'm pretty sure my wife will want to kill me if I do though. HAHA
Saw the pics congrats man. Gonna need some better pics now so I can make it my wallpaper. Vids would be cool also. Thanks for the updates along the way as Ive been watching this thread since day one. Now let her rip.

Yeah I have a bit of work to do before I can get any good pics or videos up. I picked up my new welder last night and tonight I plan on finishing cleaning out the garage so I can get some work done. I still need to get the interior back together and start tuning it. I still need tires and an alignment too..
