Yes i am sitting around drooling right now. I will get started back next week when my buddy gets back from the race. I need to use his press to put the bushing back in. So it looks like i will have to hang out and drool all weekend.

Kevin,

looking good! I also have a 67 Chevelle that I will be doing a LS1 motor for only with a big single turbo
I don't think I will get to start on it until the fall though.
Looking forward to more progress pics

Rear breaks are done. I havent had much time in the last 3 or 4 weeks to do anything but work. I hope to find the time soon to start engine build. The body is coming along great. The sheet metal work is almost done.
