Very nice man I got love for the thirdgens also. I own a 90 and hopefully Ill start working on it again soon. You should have went with a ls1 rear tho or atleast a 89 and up with the better disc. Still very nice I bought the same type of disc brake rear at first I now have all the parts to convert to the better brakes.

haha Yeah. 
Best part, is my car can kick the **** out of every 4 banger i know
One of my buddy's has a Done up Jetta, the other has a newer impala.
Im normally in trouble with them, as they put it "Go easy man, you know our car's cant keep up"
Ive been juggling the idea of finishing the car up and selling it off in the summer, to pick up a LS1 SS or WS6, as they are truely my dream car.
Time will tell i guess

the 4th gen rear's would push the stock thirdgen wheel's out 2" on each side. You can cure that by using 4th gen wheels, or vette wheels or something along those lines. Cant think of much you can do to make the thirdgen wheel go inward with that wheel, shy of having the wheel offset changed i guess

Gotta love the third gens. I have 2 convertibles my self. Nice car, and keep up the good work. However the car could have lived without replacing the dash with a 93-97 model.

LS1 5.3? Wouldn't that be a different motor if it is not a 5.7. Just curious.
Nice project though. Paint looks great. I wish I had the time, money and an alternate car to do that kind of work.

Not an LS1. That's like saying I have a 5.7L LS7.
Nice job overall on the car. I'm not feeling the early 4th gen dash in there though. I've never been a fan of chaning the dash in a car though. It hardly ever matches unless you change out doorpanels too.

Thanks for the input guys. The engine is a LM7 from a '03 Silverado. I normally just put LS1 so the motor style is understood.
In regards to the dash, i really disliked the stock dash. The dash i have i got really cheap. Im planning on upgrading the dash to a '99 dash next winter to work with my LS1 fuel tank fuel sender.
Im going to be grabbing a bunch of parts while im in florida next week to get it closer to being finished.
