Should be picking it up from my old work some time this week. The I'll finish gutting and cut the mild steel 8pt out. Thats pretty much it. Probably order suspension parts and mini-tubs here soon.

wouldnt say its restored. just got sick of looking at the original single stage faded paint. only way to paint these cars right is to strip them down to a shell.!

Not a thing wrong with that if you ask me. I would rather have a '93-'97 LS1 f-body rather then a '98-'02 LS1 f-body.. But that's just me!

Not true! My dad REALLY likes your car and has wanted to do the exact same thing for a long time. I think it looks damn good also, nice to see the C5R valve covers with the LT intake elbow. Really throws people off!

Oh i am just messing with you. I would much rather have an LS1 car. My engine and trans are already rebuilt so no point in doing the swap now.
