haha its fully insured, go for it, I would get more for it stolen than I can selling these days. Its motorless these days also, so sad, so sad. I think the vert will be a blast around 380rwhp, just can hardly wait.

Flocking done. Better pics when it drys which takes days. Will be working on the coil pack/pcm reloco mount this weekend.

Um... I saw you mention "flocking" earlier and again here with the pics... I'm not sure I get it. WTF is "flocking?" Are you doing that velvet Elvis look or something? 
Is that going to be durable enough for car use? How will you clean it? Texture looks interesting in the photos but I think I would have to see it in person and I'm not scheduled to be in NC for a while.

its usually a spray or you lay adhesive and lay it on.. If youve ever been in a late model GTO youve seen it, and you probably thought it was suede. Im not sure why I hadnt thought to do it on 'glassed stuff before now, but im in. Im also assuming it doesnt look quite so 'salt and pepper' or glittery IRL, as it does in that pic - in direct sunlight.
Does the sleven weigh similarly? Whatre you doing engine wise there?
Its kinda hard to pick a favorite, huh?

Yah the 7 weighs almost the same, most likely a 5.7 and a 228 cam.

Best pics my beat up canon can do. Have to say this has been an outstanding camera, it hasn't led an easy life with me, but it still takes a great pic.

Coil pack/pcm relocation This will most likely not work for most swaps but the firewall on the NC allows nicely for it. Brackets will come from each head.
