Default My straight but UGLY shell:

No rust anywhere on the car except a few scratches on the doors and stuff.

Engine will hopefully go in sometime next week. My plan is to have it running in a month. Only thing left that I need is a clutch, pp, flywheel, and passenger side engine mount. Just dropping the engine in I think it will run a mid-high 14. Almost into LT1 territory.. Kinda, haha.

From the title of the post I thought you were going to anounce something else ... .

It looks like it could beat a few rice burners I saw on the strip today just as it sits.

You know I'm sure an lsX would look great in there too.

Nice looking project. That's getting the turbo 4 that you posted up a bit ago?

Yeah I don't think I am going to paint it quite yet. I'm trying to get a fiberglass hood and possibly trunk but that will take a couple months. Paint will be like next summer probably. Electron blue of course.

Yes, eventually it will be turbo, but first I am just going to drop the engine in how it sits. You can see it sitting in the picture, just carbeurated for the time being. One step at a time.
