I just returned from Jims and have to say that the car looks SO much better in person. Jim polished up the drivers rear quarter so I could see the "final product". It's silly. I rolled the dice on the hardware and agree that it's a nice way to detail things. I've heard a lot of great things about the LS7, but have never driven one. Looking forward to it.

Oh yeah!! Three weeks and I can bring it home. The glass arrived Friday and I dropped off the stainless trim and rear bumper. Jim and I had to hold things in place and have a look. Yeah.....:bump:

Goal is to have it road worth for SEMA. At least so I can get it to the dyno so Mike Norris can tune it. Jeff and I are going to be busy!!

Updates are coming in at a crazy rate. Not complaining! Jim said his finger tips needed a rest from all the wet sanding, so he laid down some Dynomat, painted the trunk, installed the door and trunk rubber and the stainless hardware for the doors. You know...a nice easy relaxing kind of day. :relax:

What washers did you use on your door hinges with the ARP bolts?

Give me all your extras......HA!

I've been slacking on the updates, but progress continues. I made the cross country trip to pickup the stainless trim and rear bumper after having them repaired and cleaned up. The shop did a great job and I as very please. Sihilling Metal Polishing in Santa Ana, CA 714-543-7051 ask for Charles. Highly recommend them. Drove up to Stockton and got to see the car for the first time since it was painted. :flag2:

Jim actually let me help with a few small things which was nice. Basically minor things that I couldn't mess up. :sieg:

Since my last post the control arms and spindles have been painted, the headliner has gone in, some of the trim is on the car, all the rubber trim is in place and the quarter glass has been installed. Door glass and door internals are in progress and it sounds like the windshield and back glass will be installed in a few days. Won't be long now!

Headliner needs to go in prior to the glass for a good fit according to the interior guys I talked to. Jim had done this with the Shelby so it wasn't new to him. Mr Wizard does it again.

I ordered a dome light kit for the car and of course the base looked like garbage. Called CamaroCentral who pulled 5 of them and said they all looked that way. They where quick to refund my money and even threw in a small gift certificate for the trouble. Great customer service.

Jim stated that it was un-sat, but of course he had a solution. Looks even better IMO.
