Steve1969LS1, whats the status? 
Should have some new pics up tonight with the new wheels.. 
We have an issue with the firewall.. it wasnt done right so the car is going to a special shop for a firewall re-work. it sucks but thats life... the shop used too much filler and not enough structural support so when the car flexes the firewall cracks
The new shop will drop the front subframe (with my help) then put the car on a dolly and replace the firewall with a custom unit. then slide the subframe (with motor/trans still attached) back under the car. then they will also weld in my subframe connectors and roll cage. after that it goes to the interior shop.. i estimate 2 months unit it is on the road.
The project was going too smoothly.. there was bound to be some sort of set-back.. i didnt get screwed $$$ wise.. just cost me time.. Did i mention that its really hard to find people that do quality work???

Its lookin badass! Thats gotta be one of the best 1st gens on the planet. Hope the firewall issue isnt too much of a setback, and i think i speak for everyone on the board when i say, we cant wait to see what the final product will be!
Steve, what made you decide to change the wheels? Don't get me wrong, the new one look great, but I kinda thought the other ones looked a little more muscular. Either way the car is really looking good! The LS1 really looks perfect in there!
