Finishing up of the rollbar. Fitment and access of front/rear seat seem to be just fine.

Took a ride to see the Nova today. Glad I did. Went over lame stuff like seat belts, shifter mounting, bla bla bla...but left with couple pics anyways. Rear is sitting nicely, but I think the front may have to come down another inch. Its missing a good 100bs. of stuff as we speak. Us turbo guys got it bad! But hey, u get the idea...

Scored a killer deal I could not pass up on some stuff I need for the nova! On ls1tech classifieds, you gotta be fast. I missed a couple deals already.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone and their families today...I have a few subtle update pics, we finished the last of the mock up before we break it all down for powder coating and the painting of all new sheetmetal(floors, trunk pan, tubs, etc). The next update should be another huge milestone and heavy with pics!
Completed:
fuel lines, trans n oil cooler lines, rear brake lines, parking brake, shift linkage, dbw throttle pedal, shifter mount, 5point harnesses, etc etc etc.

Everything broken down, last of the fab work and raw metal. Time for some paint, powder coating, and hopefully final assembly under here.

For those that have been and are still following this thread, thank you. Hang in there, its about to start getting good again. Lotsa shyt being broken down and painted or prepped for some final assembly coming. Heres a pic of the firewall without the clip...again. We ve decided to shave it and clean it up alil before repainting it to match underneath and the trunk. It ll look good and be worth it once we are done. Also got the rear housing and four link bars back from powder coater. He did a nice job on the satin finish.

Undercoating , firewall, trunkpan, and floor pans done. Came out great. CAN NOT wait to start reassembling stuff for "good" so to speak. I'm ready to see everything in and installed and off the shelves/shop floors!
