I also purchased a steering column from GM Tilt. Since I plan to use push button start this is a shaved key column Have not installed yet but we all love pictures so here they are:
I also purchased A DSE dash insert to begin the thoughts and overall layout for my dash panel. Not much progress here outside of the switch panel that you see a couple of photos of. I found a source for very high quality switches with a huge assortment of labels that illuminate. Overall a very OEM look. If anyone needs the information just let me know and I will pass along.
And last but not least pictures of various stages as I installed the front subframe, rear suspension and wheels. Also ran into a couple of snags here. For one you will note the hubs on the front wheels protrude past face of the wheel. Not exactly the look I was going for but I have come up with a plan to correct and parts are ordered/on the way. Two, the tie rod is interfering with the wheels but the same solution to problem one also corrects problem two. What the hell, it's just money right?
The only issue with the solution to problem #1 and #2 is that my brakes that I currently have won't work. Anyone need a set of mocked up Track 4 Baer brakes????
Thats it for this update..next round of updates will likely be a motor. Still deciding which route but believe I am set on builiding a 416 Stroker LS3 using a low lash roller setup. If you aren't familiar with a LLR setup just google and look at the results guys are getting from stock cube LS3 motors.
