haha jk man but yeah pics would be nice! 
Amazing
Amazing Man did I get lucky!
I put an ad in C.L. to sell my LT-1 and the guy who wanted it turned out to be a hobby painter.
He said he could paint my car inexpensively if I wanted it, I thought about it a couple hours and made a deal with him to paint my car for the motor!
(Huge Risk on my part but I met the guy in person and wasnt too worried.)
Decided on Hugger Orange w/ black deck stripes painted on.
Next weekend, I helped put my car on his trailer and watched it drive away.
I was comforted over the next few weeks by pictures of my car being transormed from a typical (boring) looking car into a screaming Orange Machine!
Finally got the car back last week (took less than a month -which is about what I figured to begin with).
Came out BEAUTIFUL! - God was Smiling on me for Sure!

I'm suprised no one told me how "stupid" it was to let my car go like that.
For those of you thinking that:
Believe me, I've heard all the stories and had a few worries myself at first.
I had met the guy face to face and instantly had a Gut feeling he was Okay.
Also, he just wanted to buy my LT-1
I suggested the swap for paint work.
When it was done, I kinda felt like I took advantage of the guy for all the incredible work he did for just an LT-1
Anyone in the Salem Oregon area needing a CUSTOM paint job cheap -I will hook you up!

Comp Springs
F.A.S.T. 102 intake,fuel rail, and TB
40 Lb. low-impedance injectors
A.R.P. rod bolts
Kook's 1-7/8' longtube w/ Y-pipe
All the normal BMR stage 2 suspension stuff (except K-member and A arms)
(Still need: )
Trick Flow or MAST heads
Built T-56
Harness
Stand alone fuel mngt system (not sure)
BMR K-member and A arms
I gutted the interior and am shooting for 2800 lb. weight (driver not included)
Anyone interested can follow this build (Pics will be added as work progresses)
