Finished up the intake today and got the control arms back after blasting and having the bushings pressed in. Tomorrow primer for everything and Friday paint/clear.

Looking good Brian. I'm interested to see how the 5.3 performs. Should be a stout little motor.

I noticed in a few posts back there was a camaro nose in front of the fresh subframe. Is yours getting repainted? What happened?

Thank you, we are curious how it will perform too. Once we get it all tuned we plan to strap it on a dyno and get some real numbers to the ground. As for the nose you see in the pics, that is the nose from the car. I just have no place for it right now since we have so many parts coming in so I have to put it there when im not working on the frame lol

It must have been a reflection in the paint. It looked like it had been scuffed back down for a reshoot.

Oh yeah its just really dusty. I could see how it may look scuffed.
