Nothing like cutting a big hole in a 3K dollar front end LOL!

Looks awesome, I have been using this thread to motivate me to work on my Camaro. The only downfall to that is when I walk out into the garage and see my car it looks like a huge pile of ****....

You going to have it at Bowling Green?

I've always know them as clico (sp) clips. They are like a removable rivet. Makes it nice for mocking up pannels and small parts.

That car is awesome guys!

Should be on the ground soon and off to paint! Madman delivered on some front suspension stuff so thanks to Brian for that!

BMR also delivered on everything I need to get the back half finalized now too. Thanks to Lee, pics will be coming shortly.



The front nose is coming along nicely. All the front license plate outline will be filled and smoothed out. The stock fog lights will also be molded in.



Thanks all!!

Tom

Tom, quick question: If you're going to be running the tall deck LSX block, will the headers and intake and all that still line up with a regular mock up block? I'd imagine the headers will be a good bit farther out towards the frame rails, intake will be a good bit higher, etc....

Who's front end setup is that? Is there a really small upper A arm or is it a strut type setup?

Same as Lee from BMR mentioned; I just don't trust the cable end. These came from Tim McAmis.

Finally on the ground and at ride height! The rear end is not completely assembled yet but when it is I will show the details.






New PIS Moses LSX Cylinder Heads




They are just sitting on the block for rough intake/elbow measurements to the firewall.

Where did you get those valve covers from? I noticed they're perimeter bolt. Are they a new GMPP thing for their heads or an SBC application?

The heads are the new Performance Inductions Canted Valve. They use a SB2 valve cover.
