Looks great! Gotta love LT1 formulas

Engine bay looks great, been wanting to clean mine up for quite sometime. How hard was it to relocate the fuel lines?

Relocating the Fuel Lines was a rather big job in regaurds to cleaning up the engine bay. At first we tried to utilize the existing lines and fit the fuel line connectors back onto the lines after we cut them off... pretty much impossible, so I had to purchase new high pressure line at autozone along with new fittings. After I had the new stuff It wasn't much of a problem. Then the only other thing is filling the hole left where the lines came out. And that can be how nice of a job you want to spend on it. We welded a plate over it, smoothed it out, preppeed, primed, and painted the area.

I bought the guages from WS6STORE, they are Macewen gauges, and if I am not mistaken I do believe they make them in silver. The Graphic was also purchased from the WS6STORE along with the gauges and I applied it when installing the gauges. They sell different graphics as well and of high quality!

THanks, I actually learned that little trick off the forumn... they had exact measurements of where to cut. Saved me a ton of time, because dropping the gas tank would have been a very time consuming job.

Couldn't find gauges at ws6store.com only seen z28 and ls1 ones. I went to Macewen Website they got the silver ones. Ebay has some for $38 Shipped but dunno if any good.

I would avoid ebay gauge overlays at all costs... you get what you pay for. I have heard they are of low quality. Also If you notice, the gauges I purchased are applied and then you replace the bezel with an LS1 bezel that has the back trim piece attached to it... giving a much cleaner look. I purchased the gauges w/bezel and bird decal all from ws6 store. Not sure if they still carry them, might be worth emailing them if you are interested.

Nice cardomain

Now you just need an FQuick. 1000000000x's better.

No need to waste your money there IMO. I bought some ebay overlays for $15 shipped (great quality, have been working just fine for a few years now), and another $15 on the gauge trim bezel:

I will have to look into the fquick! And if you can get a decent gauge overlay off ebay now for a good price then more power to ya, I wouldn't do it unless I got the bezel with the trim piece in it though... just makes it look a thousand times better!

Ditto. I waited to put mine on until I found that trim piece. Just doesn't look right without it.

Yes it seems like You are almost limited with what you can do on cardomain.. I like how you can upload video and soundclips on Fquick. I am going to work on putting together a page during my next couple free days.
