Yes, I did all the polishing myself. I don't think I'll be polishing the intake anytime soon. The last intake I did I had about 10 hours in.
Thanks
Scott

a little progress.
Motor and Tranny installed.
NOS Big Shot arrived.
It's been cold in my garage, But I've got some done.
Close but still so far away.

Well slow and steady.
Brakes are done. I'm working on the fuel system and wiring.
I received the throttle body today.
only about 152 things left on the list
the good news is that my wallet has lost a lot of weight so I should pick up some more et.
Oh and I've been working on the GN in my spare time also
.

Had to sand the final coat with linseed oil on a vintage front door in the shop but I had to come back and say my buddy had a great running Maverick in high school. I loved that car and it whipped most everything else in it's class including my '74 Hornet X....[yeah, long story about what the salesman said to my dad about what Z28 meant in 1973]. I sure hope to see what the LS motor looks like in that damn skinny engine bay. I might just have to sell that 67 stepper and find me a Maverick.

I'm picking up a rust free '75 white car that has been stored inside for the past 25 years from the original owner for $100. Hes'n his late 80's and wants it gone. I have several LS1 engines and trans. Just need the front sump pan and vette side mounts...."maybe" a stronger differential......
I hear there is a twin turbo LS1 Pinto in KC area but no luck finding any more info. :-(

I always liked this scene from "Top Secret" don't take it the wrong way I'm not trying to hate.
