Looks alot worse then it is. I got it from Iowa. I got the LS from a 2003 Suburban with 50K miles at a local junkyard for $500. I bought my disc brake kit from CPP. There website is http://www.classicperform.com. Hope this helps

Floors and firewall are looking nice.

Are you going aftermarket AC / heat or are you staying without?
