+1 for the LS1 lid, I saw someone mention that a few posts back. I just put it on my car and its amazing how much better throttle response it give you. It's also a great time for you to start on it if you decide because it takes a lot of cutting on the support in front of the radiator and condenser. Totally worth it IMO

Thanks guys for the comments.

Alrite I know it's been a while so it's time for a mini update..

The body work is slowly getting there. I started priming things now. I just got a job working evenings so I haven't been progressing as much as I'd like to but I will get it done sooner or later.

I also picked up some go fast goods.. Just got these back from getting high-temp black ceramic coated.



Pacesetter longtubes.. I was fairly satisfied with the quality of these headers minus the poopy welds clogging up the flange ports... (sorry for the cell pics)




After an hour or two with the dremel I got em cleaned up a little. These should flow a lot nicer now.




That's it for today.
