^ That sounds like an awesome idea! Great work on your build too! Are you going to put some gloss and clear coat on the engine bay while the engines out this time? Maybe you have already (i didnt read the whole thread)

Thanks, no I'm leaving it like that for now, I have so little time to work on it anymore, I'm just trying to get it back together so I can drive it.

Wow, I guess I really just let this thread die. and I also realized I never took any good pictures of the engine bay before I parted it out.


Here was Step 1



Then I switched to my custom Halltech Setup



Heres the also finished picture I have. (after I painted/powdercoated every part on the car... either black, gunmetal, or quicksilver)




Thanks for the interest guys.

Punisher,

Do you have any pics on the "install" of the Halltech intake? I have been looking for a good intake solution for my LT1 car and I like the look of that system... I am curious what cutting/mods you had to make to the radiator support, etc. I am trying to keep my A/C condensor as well, do you think there is room to do so?

Beautiful car BTW!

I use to hate the flat black under the hood but after having gloss white i think you were onto something lol,

Thank you, I do to

The cage, and most of the other accent parts are gunmetal. I did use quicksilver as a secondary accent, FYI.

The engine bay is just flat black.


Yea, definitely..

The original plan was gloss black, or body color(that was going to change). but Im really not the type of person who likes shiny. I wanted it to look clean, and well put together without the use of chrome/polished... So I think the flat fit the build well. but also, it was much easier to keep clean, and touch up... Since I actually daily drove the car, and worked on it(coming up with new projects/products. There are quite a few "touch ups" in there. but since that chassis is getting a new build, I will be re-doing the engine bay again.

Do ya got pics of the rattle can of the interior/cage paint? I might do a bit of acxentin myself withthat color

They're in this thread somewhere.

There is no way you can tell its rattlecan. It was a TON of work, but the rattlecanning turned out perfect. There is no way you could tell.

Sanding down the texture on all the ABS pieces took dozens of hours of work.

you just spray can the cage? im going to be using tractor paint and brush to paint it on. I heard it comes out great when you do that.

Literally doing the exact same thing to my WS6 right now, minus the LS7 install.

How did you remove the brake booster without dropping the dash? How did you remove the fuse box and wiring on the drivers side without dropping the dash? I'd like to keep heat, maybe ditch ac, but is there ANY way to remove the heater core and plastic housing without dropping the dash???

Do a search. Tons of people have walked you through it, though, it's all common sense. I can't help you there. I would say it's probably easier to just drop your dash.
