The horn sounds good, not louder than stock, but at least you dont have to be ashamed to use your horn now lol.

I'm in PA too, despite the 30 degree weather I've done a lot of tune up work in the driveway over the last few days and installed a panhard bar today. Last week I had the t-tops out.

but I wish it was warmer too, could get a lot more done.

I have not actually done any work yet, but I just got a new set of DR's, picked up an OEM lt1 WS6 hood, and a set of LS1 tail lights. Can't wait to get it all together

Thankfully I now have a building to work in. It is a huge upgrade from my dirt driveway that was my former work space.

I've been working on repairing the slight body damage to my 02 Z28. It came from an insurance auction. Someone drove it through a fence. It won't be perfect but will be a fun street strip car when I'm done.

Installed a ported stock TB, Pro 5.0 shifter, Tick master cylinder, Monster Stage 2 clutch package with lightweight flywheel. I'm ready for this thing to get broken in and rip through some gears!
