Default some progress pics

making some progress on my 69 chevelle, got the engine built (lq4 w/forged pistons, rods, z06 cam, disc procharger, carb'ed intake)
i have the intercooler all mounted, and piping pretty much comp, one i get the doors, fenders painted and bolted on, i will finish welding the tubing, then take it up the street and have it headered coated (poor mans chrome)
for a trans i am using a switch pitch 400(old tech)
once its running and all figured out, i may switch to f/i, but will do a 4l80e first-since i have had a bunch of procharged carb'ed cars, it would be easier for me this way, as i am pretty **** with computers, but will have to prob laptop my msd setup
