Cris, I don't ever remember you giving me a rundown of the parts list, good god, it has all the right stuff going into it. I'm sure it will turn out great. I'll definitely be watching as this comes together. Now, about the name, I'm not sure I want to know, but is there a story behind it, and if so, can the story be told on a PG rated forum?

Matt

The valve coves are LS7 which you don't fill oil on the valve cover.. so it looks like it is a dummy fill cap that has been epoxyed on..

Matt- Their is a story behind the project name.. but we would figure we would let people make their own asumptions!! Steve R came up with the name.. Ask him the next time you see him @ BOS..

Thanks for the compliments guys!

The owner of this build is just a great guy to work with.. He basically told me to build it as if it were mine.. but want it ASAP!!! So we are going with as many bolt on components with a few custom touches to it.. The 68 will be on East Coast attening as many open track & auto cross events & daily driven!!
When we are done with the car it will get "Pozzi Tuned" before we ship it..

The color is looking like ZR-1 blue.. I want to Thank Ben Hermance for giving me a killer rendering to work with..

Yea, I was at the shop messing with Mary's car and Cris showed me the rendering and asked me to come up with a project name.

Talked about the project, goals and how much work is involved..

so I said (half jokingly) how about project blue balls.. after all, this whole process is an excercise in frustration.. lol

and it just stuck.. it's a bit on the raunchy side, but it does fit..

Oh and Cris.. the backup name I came up with was PROJECT FAT BASTARD since you are doing the widebody kit..

Whatcha think?
