I can't seem to find pictures of the finish product, but found some of the first rough cuts for fitting in the front

Don't have pictures of the rear. Car put away now, but next time I pull the rear wheels off, I will try and remember to take pictures and post them.

Looks good. We need more details.
Looks like you assembled the motor what all did you do to it.
What your wheel combo/spec's

The motor is a L92 long block out of an escalade, complete reseal with new bearings and rings. The reason I got the engine was because of a scrape in Cyl #7, had a new sleeve installed to fix that, not sure how that scrape got there?? but anyways, everything else on the engine was fine. I removed VVT and the original cam and replaced with a Comp Cam (#54-414-11) with valve springs, installed a Corvette intake & TB and the engine is cotrolled using the GMPP LS3 controller kit. The acessories are LS1 Camaro, wicked deal on that, 75$ box of parts found on local classified and had everything but water pump!!!

Wheels are OEM C6 Corvette take offs, 18x8.5 front with 245/45zr18 and 19x10 with 275/35zr19 rear. As for offset/backspacing, don't remember off hand, I can dig up though. I did use wheel adapters, will try and dig up thickness as well.

Note that for the rear, I used a 8.5" GM rear end out of a second gen camaro. It gave me 2 extra inches in width reducing the required adapter thickness for the vette wheels, and the 8.5 is better than the 8.2 that came with the car.;)

Thanks

Nick, are those 5th gen SS badges in your nose stripe, or are those painted?

Congrats on getting it buttoned up, it looks great. :thumbsup:

They are badges from a 2007 Cobalt SS, the door badges.
