Good job! I personally prefer the LT1 front end better, but good job nonetheless.

i mean, with everyone talkin about LS1's being more powerful (ok shoot me), but LT1's looking better, why dont we see backward conversions?

Nice conversion. I still would never put my car as an LS1 body. I like the LT1 bodies, and feel they should be kept how they are. I wouldn't convert my car to a Trans Am body either, but I would def. get a nice "LS1 style" hood.
