Leave the later model rear on it and do a smoothed taillight treatment, that would look awesome.

Had it set up there today and I think it would look really good. What I would do is get a Camaro CME exhaust and make your own lower valence and it should look great. I don't have time for it though haha.

Took me about 5 hours to get the motor out today, I dropped it off and got some cash for it so I am happy. I hope the 6.0 isn't as much of a pain in the ass to get in as the 301 was to get out. Was fun though, I learned a lot today during my first motor pull.

Oh yeah the car is in the body line now, shouldn't be long.

Black. :thumbsup:

aw man...now i want a late second gen trans am lol. i gotta hurry up and finish the 68 i guess :lol:

i like your ideas with the cme, and those wheels look great on the car bro. keep us posted cuz this is going to be a sick build :thumbsup:

Do you know which engine plates you are going to use yet. I have the same setup going into mine.

The motor has the mounts on it from the chassis side so I am probably just going to weld those to the frame. Either that or buy some steel and print out a template.

Started setting the motor in to see how it would look, manifolds got in the way but the motor looks like it will be right at home in there. Tomorrow I am going to take the manifolds off, set it in there and start fabbing up the mounts. This weekend I am going to take the fenders off and degrease/ paint the bay. Going to paint the water pump and other stuff black. Right now I am going to start diggin into the harness.
