Damn man, your making some progress! Build is looking great, and Bill's welds look a shitload better than mine haha. I need some practice.
Anyways, if you don't remember me, I took your LS1 off your hands lol. I'll keep an eye on this build and can't wait to see it together and making some power. Don't think you ever saw my build, so here's a little inspiration for ya...
Oh and BTW, my brother already sold the LS1 he bought from you. Got it home and he was looking at my car a lot...after about a week he said "thats it, I'm going turbo 5.3." Gotta love it.

Awesome to see you making some great progress on this man! Also pretty ironic we bother saw the light and went from the Cobalts to the f-bods 
I picked up an 02 SLP SS a couple months ago and plan to do a nice street build turbo setup on it this winter... shooting for somewhere in the 600+whp range

and damn your car looks a lot cleaner than mine (well for now lol).
going to try and do some of the cage tomorrow before the storm heads in then once thats done I can start wiring this thing.
pm a link to your build thread man, interested in seeing that, friend of mine might be picking up a 87 gta to do a build on and I'd like to show him your.

There it is. It's on thirdgen.org...and I'll warn you, it's LOOOOONG. That threads been up for 2 years and I have a crapload of pics. Going to start it hopefully in the next month so I'm pretty pumped. Can't wait to see what yours puts down with that 88mm. Keep in touch man!
