Default Update on car w/ pics!

Well since I put the hood on this is what has happened.
-Tranny got taken out and shipped to sixspeedsinc for the stage 2b build and a new fourth gear.
-Headers have been put on
-brake rotors have been "turned"
-lots of parts have been ordered:
LGM G5x3 cam, comp dual 921 valve springs, seats, retainers, comp 7.4 pushrods, intake manifold plug, lots of gaskets, katech rod bolts, katech ported ls6 oil pump, ls2 timing chain, spec stage 2, porterfield brake pads, and so on.
-getting ready to paint the calipers a color no one has prolly ever painted calipers


-Tranny will be here in about a week along with the clutch. Going to put those in, along with new steering rack, new k-member, and rod bolts. Gonna break in the clutch and tranny, save up some money and then get the cam, valvesprings, timing chain, oil pump, ect installed and tuned. Then comes body work, paint, and interior all at once!

Looks good, rims are a sweet touch!

What's the word on the Chevelle (looks like a 66-67?)

stock and stock for now!

Chevelle is a 66. It is getting new rear quarter panels. We started sanding away the paint and noticed that it must have been in an accident because it had a **** load of bondo on both sides. It just got some new rocker arms, new carb is coming soon, along with new paint, new rims, and new slicks.
