Worked on the car more tonight. Got the whole front suspension back on. PA k-member, Racecraft lowers, UMI uppers, QA1 R's. All cromoly. All i need is a steering rack/shaft for a ls1 and its a roller again. Personially im diggin' the 2 tone color. And ill have a little red on the motor so it should match nicely

With a cut cowl it looks like a perfect candidate for a Kenne Bell...

well when i can upgrade from a 5.3 to a 6.0 for nothing why not?! Its a lot cleaner then the 5.3 and 1/2 the miles. I should have plenty of room for anything i put in there.

Just read through all 11 pages. ...Subscribed. (Currently doing "tin can" weight reduction on my '99 Z28, but not quite to the extent that you went.) Looking great, and good luck!

If you go to user settings and do some "tuning" it's only 6 pages


Enjoying the build as well

An 8 pt I believe your only legal to 9.99 or 10.0. Why not a 10pt then your legal to 8.50?
