'37 Oze I just fired up my '37 Ford 3-window - a fiberglass bodied tribute car, built from a roller that I bought from the OZE Rod Shop.
Got the roller on 8-6-13 and worked nearly full time on the car since then. It's got a stock 430hp LS3 "connect and cruise" package from Chevy. The car will be a driver, not a show car and as such, has an inexpensive all GM accessory drive (Cadillac CTS), except for the home-made alternator mount and an Alan Grove AC compressor mount. The alternator relocation required the throttle body to be flipped.
The GM wiring harness had quite a bit of excess length, with the ECM mounted below the dash, on the tunnel, but there wasn't room for the TCM under the dash, so it went in the trunk. I only had to extend 5 wires, about 2' to do that.

54 GMC Suburban I am currently heavy into the building of a 1954 GMC Suburban. This will be a rest-o-rod with new running gear. We will be putting a LC9 5.3 L crate engine and 4L80E HD transmission in. Not quite to the point of installing the engine and transmission yet. We are just finishing body work and have completed installation of Heidts IFS & rear suspension. Will keep the group posted as we progress.

1990 Fox body LX Notch- 4.8 Turbo swap with worked 862 heads- BTR turbo cam-going to go with a built Turbo 350 most likely- car is completely gutted currently- work in progress and I just started- plans are for a street car that can run consistent high 9's at the track- going to be using a lot of everyones knowledge through the process for sure!! I'll try to get some pictures up soon- anyone have any experience with EZ Wire in a fox? I took the entire harness/ecu- every wire I could out of it and am going with the EZ wire for fans, headlights, taillights and signals- thanks

1940 Chevy Coupe with LS1, 4L60E, and rear from a '98 TA and Fatman/Mustang II front end
Lots of work left to be done, plumbing, wiring (TA harness needs to be installed in car), interior, maybe even paint.
