Yes I did, it wont be in there for long now though...this project has taken a little turn and it now has a 76mm turbo added into the plans. I finished welding up my hotside last night and will post some pics when I get home this evening. The 4L60E will be coming out and a built 4L80E will be the new addition.

This is an update on the car...current pics as it sits, with a GT45 turbo and homemade hotside. I still have a few things to do, still need to relocate the coils on the passenger side but just wanted to give an update here. I started the car last Sunday, I cant wait to drive it!

A little update on the Camaro...
I got the AC lines crimped and pulled a vacuum on the system to make sure I had no leaks. I am still cleaning some thing up in the engine compartment and the inside has a good bit of work to do but I did get to drive it a little bit without getting into boost and it did good! I plan to have it tuned as soon as the holidays get over with and I have a little extra time! I got the Dakota Digital gauges installed and I really like the look of them! The RetroSound radio is in, still have a lot of wiring to tidy up in there lol.

Bump. I've got updates coming soon! We made 4100 miles in this car back in June on the Power Tour, my copilot was my 5 year old son and we had some good company along the way!

Congrats. Thanks for sharing the pics of the 60 Imp. When I first seen it in the backround, I was hoping you would share some pics of that too.

Thanks everyone!
RPTURBO-Its a LS3 manifold that has been cut and welded. That picture of the gauges was when I first installed them before it was calibrated...looks kind of funny though! Now it says what gear its in on the right and my boost gauge is on the left.
Jimbo1367- The Impala was my grandpa's old car, its by far my favorite!
