I've got one to drop off when I pick mine up. Would be nice to hit the easy button though. This will do the trick. It came with a winch, straps and a set of Race Ramps.

Thank You. Few weeks and we will need them.

I don't think Jim was to hip on the control arms at first, but then he saw what it could look like on some TV show and that was all it took. I agree they look better black.

Door glass is in and aligned....apparently that's the hard part. Well the first one was anyways. Front end is starting to go together and yeah......

Wait! Where is the motor?

Please don't tell me you're going to lean over those fenders for the motor install!!

The engine is in my garage in a million pieces. New LS7 block waiting to be built. One hurdle at a time my friend.

Greg,

Take a big deep breathe and breath my friend!
Nothing to get excited about here!
It is only installing a engine , easy !

Not a big deal to install, now Curtis' second engine! LOL
Built the first one with 550 hp, but when he saw that LS7 setup sitting in my garage, he had to have it he said!
So looks like I will be building another engine for this car

Guess that I shouldn't mention that I am drilling a big hole in the smoothed firewall for the engine harness, LOL

Curtis is super excited to get going on the car as soon as it gets to my shop this weekend

Looking really good my friend! You have to be out of your mind excited. I remember those days.

I built mine the same way as you know. It's not ideal to fabricate after or lean over those pretty fenders, but you can execute well. Take your time and protect your car well. I used sheet plastic with towels on top, then fender covers where I was working. It lets you use the fenders for misc. things like bolts and wiring. It may be early for plastic over that paint. I like what the big shops do with the paper as well. I can honestly say I built mine without any scratches on the paint or extra holes, etc. You are putting a little dinky mouse over the fenders, I had to shoe horn that big block in there. Especially after I got the road race pan on it. It barely fit.

It will go quick now. Good luck getting anything else done. Apologize to your wife up front. ha

This has been great to watch.

Totally loving those stainless fasteners on the doors and fenders. Killer details! Did you say they're custom? I'm guessing, turned on a lathe, not cnc?
