Smile Progress pictures of my LT1. (at last).

this is not the final product yet, and these are the only pics i have and the only ones i will post until the car is done.

the car is now is at the shop getting the engine and tranny installed after along stay in the paint shop you can see the color, and the Berger panel which turned out way better than i thought it would.

Next to be installed is almost everything in my sig, and limo tint, and might go for 98+ SS rear spoiler some time this week.

Pics:















OK, now the engine, unfortunately I only had my phone with me so the quality of the pictures is not that great.

and guys, before you start, I know the Intake manifold is the other way around, so don't even mention it, its not installed I just put it on top to take pix.








comment are welcome, good or bad, but stupid stuff are to be kept away.

wish me luck boys and gals.

thanks for the nice comments guys.

about the intake, I spent 12 hours polishing it, I got every corner smooth and nice, then sprayed it with metallic silver mixed with some Hardener.

too bad we don't have anybody powder coating in this part of the world, I would do it if I wasn't working and studying at the same time.

Maybe you're setting it up for a cowl induction setup. . . . .
