Progress pictures of my LT1. (at last). this is not the final product yet, and these are the only pics i have and the only ones i will post until the car is done.
the car is now is at the shop getting the engine and tranny installed after along stay in the paint shop you can see the color, and the Berger panel which turned out way better than i thought it would.
Next to be installed is almost everything in my sig, and limo tint, and might go for 98+ SS rear spoiler some time this week.
Pics:
OK, now the engine, unfortunately I only had my phone with me so the quality of the pictures is not that great.
and guys, before you start, I know the Intake manifold is the other way around, so don't even mention it, its not installed I just put it on top to take pix.
comment are welcome, good or bad, but stupid stuff are to be kept away.
wish me luck boys and gals.

No, I am supposed to install it today, but I have to start with the rear suspension, I think you know what is stopping me.
according to the guy in the shop, I am supposed to be Driving around this weekend, but I just cant believe him, not that he is a lier, they are just slow, I'm allowing this only coz I know thee final product will be extremely good.
the total work remaining i estimate that it takes no longer than 6 hours of labor, excluding the installation of the torque arm and the SFC's, but that will be done in a deferent shop.
I can't wait to see it on the road again, I actually can't stand being in the shop anymore, I've had it.

Everything will work out. Once it's on the road youll forget how long it took to get there. Ive been down the same road as you know and I'm still going down that road. I just do my best to look foward to the final project even though it seems like that point will never be reached anytime soon. I think youll be in the 12's easy with 1.5 60's. Hopefully the vette will be ready around the same time so I can help you break in

If i get anything betweeen 12.5 and 11.99 I will be happy, else wise the motor will see as much naws as it takes and I will start building a new motor with more go fast parts.
I hope to see your vette on the road soon bro, and thanks for the good comments.

I had always envisioned a flat black Berger panel on a black Camaro as not looking right, but after seeing yours, I'm actually starting to like it. Motor looks really sharp as well. Keep up the good work.

Hopefully this Thursday (Fingers, hands, feet, legs, arms and butt-cheeks crossed).
it have been down for 8 months, everything have been going on so slowly until yesterday, we got the Motor, and tranny in, all what is left is the suspension, new fuel line, and Exhaust work, nothing more than 6 hours work.
wish me luck guys, and thanks for the nice comments.
