I'm glad my LS1 lid swap doesn't look like that, then again I just wax and wash my car.

Only passes at the track will tell if it works, march 1st is opening day. I might even keep my stock intake around for a back to back comparison.

So make yours nice instead of hacking it up.

Just because it may not be nice at first, doesn't mean it always has to be junk

It looks like strictly a drag car lol

I always loved when the drag cars are out there in primer for a year then the next year they come back with a nice paint job. That all I would do would be paint the out side of the car.

You can't the inside when your going down the track....

Its a GO car not a SHOW car

EXACTLY

Aright I get it I fucked up that 1 cut on the frame, Ill fix it eventually.

And if I did a paint job that would add weight, and that $2000 would better be spent on a 9".

wow. a little bit extreme for a stock car huh? live and learn i guess.. once he goes out and sees a properly built car that still has its entire interior in it pass him like he is standing still he might realize that he may have taken some unneeded steps. the part about trailering the car. that was also funny.

Mine looked stock appearing when I had my LT1 front end on, direct fit with a 4 inch cowl, ls1 radiator base (lightly trimmed to fit the contours of the core support better) and a SLP airbox...

Another thing too, my Camaro looked like it was ready for the junkyard when I got it. It was at a dealership we detailed their trade ins, hell, they werent even going to sell it...overheated, door skins were seperated from the shells, windows were off the tracks, paint was shot, interior looked like hell and every interior part that could be removed was spray bombed Cameleon (sp?) paint. But the car sitting in the back row of the dealer lot, screamed "Save me!" So I slowly worked at fixing it up piece by piece with basically no more than $50 at any given time (traded, begged, bartered) for alot of my stuff and now Im to a point where I think my Camaro could be a car show contender. Going on aprox 3 years since I bought it, been through the race stuff and now its back as a street car, but I took a total POS and saved it and gave it a new life...best feeling in the world...well carwise...lol

But yet you still have emissions on it, the full heater box, and abs
