You are gonna have one nice car when your done bro!
Ive been busy as F**K with work and side jobs turning wrenches and tuning (like always lol)... but on top of that i just bought a 1840sqft house with single car garage... I am gutting the house out right now and am remodeling the inside.
Framing walls, new electrical, new plumbing, sheetrock, mudding, ect.. ect... new everything.
once im done remodeling the house im gonna build a shop on the empty lot i bought thats next to the house... going to go big with the shop prolly 30x40 or so, I like lots of room to work and always seem to have serveral projects going at the same time, and theres always something being worked on for someone else!
will be looking for a new lsx project after the garage is done
well im done thread hijacking... LMFAO!

No real hard updates.
Wiring harness is done, atleast until electricity goes through it and its not. Did some shaving in the engine bay:
Still alot more holes to go though.
Blower box block off plate is almost done. Still figuring out how Im going to mount it and such.

Almost every local or remote turbo car that I know personally or have tuned with the power to run mid 10s that has run a two step has broken a trans or two before going a different route. Two 'prominent' members here include Mightymouse and Rice Etr. Besides that I have another vette owner and one rear mount owner locally. I can add another two cars that were tuned via email (owners had HPTuner's or EFI Live). Of that group, I don't know of a single car that has run one for any good length of time before it happened either. I'm not say that NO ONE can use one, I am just relating the experience of peers and customers. It was enough to make me pull the two step off of my own car and sell it.

Decided that I should clean up the radiator support where the filler cap for the radiator will be. Went ahead and welded some sheetmetal in place, I went with rounded corners instead of a boxed look.
Im still new to welding so there was alot of grinding that was done, lol. Ill be putting down some bondo/kitty hair tomorrow on the rest of the bare metal spots. Should have it all sanded and ready for prime/paint within a week(im lazy). After that is painted I just need to finish my firewall, then the engine and turbo kit assembly are next. I might ask for a week off work to hammer through alot of this.

All was well till I twisted the output shaft on the 1-2 shift.
