Yeah, the outside was immaculate, but the underhood WAS quite ratty.

Just a brief no picture update guys: I'm in the tedious clean polish paint powdercoat stage so even though ive been working my *** off I dont have a ton to show for it right now. Parts are still shuffling in Daily as well and I almost have everything I need to start putting her back together. Im working on some interior pieces Today though so I may have a little update tonight. Ill keep you guys in the loop.
On a side note if anyone happens to have a diagram or pic of how they ran there emissions delete vacuum lines on an LT1 (getting rid of it all, air, egr, evap) could you let me know... I have a basic idea but I just want to make sure I get my routing right.

I followed this guide. I took the red power distribution box and zip tied it under the passenger side hood bumper. Only thing I ran into that was different was the ground wire locations. No big deal.
That's the only picture I have after doing mine. One day I'll get some better pictures.

Looks like things are headed this direction though so hopefully ill have progress to show soon. Ive been busy polishing and painting so ill have a good photo update this weekend
