Ok, let me catch up.

We have already run the car for Pinks. We won! I'm just putting this on here piece by piece cause I hate sittin in front of computers so long. Plus you gotta love the suspence.

No we are not buying any mountin stuff for the ls1.

The ls1 had a ported throttle body, Nos, and headers.
Pewter, hook em up with the first cams specs if you got em.

Im pretty sure he got my stepside tailgate for my s-10 from you. Was white, from a heat & air conditioning company.

Car looks just sick. Can't wait to see the rest of the pics. You guys ever think bout bringing the car back, and having a go at it again for another show?

If you look really closely you can see the mounts we made for the engine. They are simply 2x1/4 strap steel welded to the cross member, and boxed in.



Oh, and I think its ready for a fresh coat of paint.




yup. primer






gotta love strange axles, and ladder bars!

And, the final product.....................................











Representing the Burgh baby!

Alright, time for the gravy!


Those tires look a little better huh?


Rear assembly




Full legnth frame tube, coming from cross member, to the front clip. And the tranny mount. Its a bit crooked, but the tranny is held in straight. You'll have that with 24 hour work shifts.









The moment you've all been waiting for..................








What oil pan did you use to clear that cross member????


Oh, we just cut the factory pan rail off and welded up a cutom joint! enjoy. The front kick out hold 8.5 courts. Its baffled, and has a transfer tube from the rear shelf to the from sump for drainage during acceleration.






What headers did you use????


Hooker super comps baby. Slight massaging on the passengerside and it bolts right in. The drivers side needed 3 pipes made completely from scratch. Then we had em powder coated.








your moment of zen




and, the first fire.
