Every spring, Heighton Restoration in Beiseker, AB has an open house and car show. Since we were mocking up the sheetmetal to make sure the fit was correct before welding the subframe in Chris thought it would be cool make the car half way presentable for the show. I think the results are killer:
The stance is really close but I think that the actual ride height will be an inch higher front and back when we are done.
The lower valance and Marquez running lights came out pretty well. The chin spoiler is a Carbon Fiber piece that probably will be replaced soon but definetely shows completes the front end well. We're not quite done on the header panel and a few other bits and pieces but wanted to get all the sheetmetal together one last time before paint.

I am really happy with the HRE wheels (ok, heck, I'm happy with how the whole thing is coming together).
The backspacing on the rears is (IMO) just about perfect.

It's cool to see the entire engine compartment come together. The down bars still have to be painted and are in to confirm hose routing and clearances in the mean time.

I'm still not quite done on the plumbing for the remote reservoirs. There winds up benig alot going on in that corner and I hope to be able to clean up the -4an lines to the reservoirs a bit before I'm done there.

Matt at RFR Custom Fabrication made up the killer shims for the fenders. The down tube bolts will be changed out in final assembly.
There is still some work to finish up at the back. We are about half way done the rear bellypan but it's coming together really well.

The radiator support and closeout panel was a ton of work but looks natural with the sheetmetal in place. The cable release latch assembly is nice and tidy as well.
Again Matt at RFR Custom Fabrication came through with the upper collars for the hood pins. The Ring Brother's pins were originally designed for Mustangs and left some threads exposed on the Camaro. Matt went above and beyond here and came up with a perfect solution.

This car is going to be F'n awsome. Just wish I had the $$$ to do something similar with a 67 nova.

Can you buy just the water pump accessory pulley? I keep throwing my belt off at the water pump. I noticed this pulley has a little raised lip on the sides. That may be all I need to keep the belt on the pump. Also the nice hose spacer clamps you have holding the two hoses togather. The ones in front of the radiator on the drivers side. Where did you get those?

The answer is No. You would have to buy the water pump in addition to the pulley if we did sell it. Problem is that we spaced everything forward and it would not replace any thing factory due to spacing off the block.

Thanks for chiming in Tyler. Since my advice was going to to give you a call this makes everything easier for everyone.
A ton of thought went in to the ATS Sidewinder setup to make it the perfect solution for high performance LSx applications.

I have a LS7 motor. So will it not fit? I thought the LSX Block was the same as an LS7, just different materials. Unless you spaced everything foward.
