THE GOOD
car got a new color/custom color back in dec. body work took forever but everything came off. well worth it. minor things that i still have to take care of are emblems. inner wells misc parts/ few interior panels
i haven't finished my 4th gen door panels but they are there as temps. also in storage i have a mint condition 2005 gto dashboard that might be going in this summer after i figure out the gto hvac ducting. ill be looking into ebony 4th gen door panels which look easier to work with.. i have issues with the ls7 clutch (sac). so i will be looking for a better kit. a monster clutch or so
as for the engine no internal work yet.. its still stock. i wanna go bigger .. and i need a nice rear end !
new paint!!
new wheels!!!

You can get conversion mounts from Spohn. 98-02 Camaro/firebird pan and stainless works makes headers (longtubes) BRP Hotrod makes midlength (Not sure if I'm breaking rules cause I dont think there a sponsor.. ) Go to thirdgen.org and they have stickies with all info. When I did mine I used a Tubular cross member and stock ls1 manifolds for now. But going turbo so thats all gone.

Thanks for the compliments. I will post more pics once the rain goes away.
The color is a custom blue with ppg tones and pearls. Very similar to my old paint..
Yea I'm over 5k in this..
Flanges were made by my friends father. I believe a vendor on here also sells them ..
Oil pan is the stock fbody oil pan 98-02 very tight fit though.
I'm using the stock fbody manifolds but hawks sells full lenght headers for these 3rd gens..
The motor mounts are spohn.

clutch is in. i had a hard time this weekend
my gm seal started to have a lil wear and tear so i bought a complete felpro rear cover seal kit i should be ok.
one of the longer 10mm screws that tighten the lower portion of the rear cover closer to the oil pan broke on me.. bad day rodered on from gm . do these go on hand tight?
still a stock cam guys
new" style hat on the release bearing.
test fit of the exhaust. *hoping to get away and avoid having to buy a relo kit.
second time having an issue finding the correct dexron3 fluid for the transmission .. i will wait and talk to a gm parts rep. this is what vatozone carries.

but i am also planing on dropping the k member this summer to notch the area where the oil pan fits tight.. its a minimal gap that has me worried after these few years.
