No offense bro but he has one less post than you.....no reason to throw the n00b around. Not tryin to start a war...just thought that was funny.

LS1_boostdscoob: Ill admit, your car is a mess right now. Not downin you at all... You probably would have been better off working on one project at a time and finishing each part before moving on. Just keeps things from getting hectic. That said, I also know how pictures can make things look a lot different than they do in person. There are plenty of pics of my swap that make it look like a total mess, but to me, during the build, it was perfectly organized and I knew what was what.

Bottom line, I hope you finish this thing... It will be a heck of a car and I for one am rooting for you to get her finished.

Good luck!

J.

Mate, ive been following this build for some time now, and i know this guy has coped some abuse from various people. I think we are all a bit guilty of talking things up once in a while and posting threads of future plans for the build that are a bit far fetched! but thats just excitment talking!
i have been planing this build in my head for ages, but dont have the ***** to cut my rex up! i have to take my hat off to the guy for at least looking outside the square! goodluck with the build and if yours goes well, i will take to mine with the plasma cutt!!!!

Yeah, a modded suby engine could make as much as a stock LS1...but who says he's going to keep the LS1 stock?
