Yes.... the Avatar is my car as it is now. A lot of guys give you that "look" when you telling them you are painting your car green??

Couple of more shots of the car as it was being taken apart. The previous owner had put in a 454 with a turbo 400 trans. He was a writer with one of the car magazines and did a write up on the motor "Budget build 454". He put the motor in the 69 and ran the hell out of it. The motor was strong and ran great, but I really had the itch to do an LS drivetrain.

Got started by cleaning up the firewall a bit and closing up some of the unneeded openings in the sheet metal. I will be welding in a DSE firewall panel to get things smoothed out.
