my '69 Camaro is ALIVE! All the hours of rebuilding this entire car from the frame up, replacing every single nut and bolt, and probably 50 hours of wiring up the entire car and engine, not to mention assembling the engine and also my first forced induction setup, I'm happy to say IT LIVES!
The LS6 fired up on the first try tonight, at 8:59pm. I just completed the fuel system tonight and crossed my fingers and it roared to life. All the busted knuckles and trips back and forth to the parts stores have paid off now.

If any of you guys are coming to the Year One Commerce Challenge on Oct 8-10, you will get to see the official debut of Project Extreme-G. www.ExtremeG.net
Gonna go drink a gallon of beer now, I need it.

I bet you're happy the project is done.It's alot more fun driving them than turning wrenches.My SS's original bellhousing is back in service on your car.
