Looks pretty good. Now the real fun begins!

WOW....like a sheet of black glass draped over a car. Has that thing been blocked? Looks awesome Jody. :thumbsup:

Woww, and I bet those pictures dont do it justice! That car is going to be insane! Keep the pictures coming...

Tim

That looks really good, what kind of black is that jody?

Jody,
Long time waiting.Awesome!! Highlights look true and straight.Id love to see it in person.Pics only tell so much with black.
You are right, now the real work begins.Take a deep breath and put your head down my friend.
Again wish I wasnt so far away Id come lend a hand. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
And please keep us posted when you can.(PICS)
Your humble fan,Chris :hail:

Thanks guys. It's been blocked and buffed, may need a second round but honestly is pretty flat. For now I will leave it alone.

I will keep you updated with pics for sure. And Chris, I wish you were close enough too! :D

Jody

thats a pretty car. is the subframe in the car still? or what does the cage go to?

Looks great, Jody. The Marquez Design parts are going to look fantastic on yoru car.

I see one rather large blemish in that rear quarter....... Oh, wait..... Never mind. It's just you. Car looks great Jody. I'll definitely have to cruise by. :yes:

Meticulous.

The front subframe is out and over here:

I have a 6 point cage in the car, tied into the rear frame rails in the trunk and the welded in DSE frame connectors, and to a plate on the floor up front by the kick panels. The front subframe and frame connectors bolt together with 6 bolts as I wanted to keep the subframe removeable.

Jody

wow man thats gonna be a clean clean car when your done. i got a couple questions for you tho...
on your LT1, does it have the gear for the distrubitor on the cam? or did you order the cam that way...?

as for bolting a 4L80E to the LT1, will anyone bolt up to it? or did you have to get one out of a pre-LS1 truck?

any way that car is gonna be K-I-L-L-E-R... :willy:

Nice! Are you going to be around this weekend? I want to come up and test how well drool rolls off of it. :D

I think Pasqual may be getting a certain 69 Chevelle to work on later this year...

The LT1's have a dist gear on the cams just like a regular small block; they use the gear to drive the oil pump with a little stub shaft bolted under the intake manifold.

The trans is a standard Chevy V8 bellhousing.

I'll be around, head on up!

Jody

That looks awesome Jody! I love to look at a Black car done right.

Mike

looks good, although it will look even better when it's done.

jake

sweet god, thats nice!

Looks like you can just put your hand in it. Great Job!

Mike

don't chip the paint on my car Jody, I mean it. :D I bet seven of us could thrash on that car and have it mostly done in a few days ala Overhaulin. I'd fly out to help. Jody, Beer is on you dude.

As expected it looks great.I should be back up at Pascuals in the next couple of weeks.If your going to be around I would love to check it out.

Thanks guys! Jonny, have Pascual bring you by, I'm only 15 minutes or so from his shop.

Jody

Looks so good I could eat it :P
