That is kind of an "Optical Delusion", if you know what I mean. I can't get my brain around where that is, front or back. I guess what i am saying is WE NEED MORE PICTURES!

Default Sorry about that

That's a close up shot of the front grill taken from eye level in front the driver's side headlight, looking down and across the front.

Does that help?

Default Powerplant

Thanks Howard.

I think the powerplant is going the way of the grill: It'll take 5 versions to get it right! Wegner is probably going to pass on the California shortblock. The final straw was .002 runout on the crank snout. That was engine version 3.

I think I'm done with sleeves. Version 4 of the engine will likely revolve around an LS2 block or even an "unannounced" block that will be available in January, according to GM Racing. Rumor has that being the aluminum LS7 block with a 4.0+ bore.

If only I could make an engine from aluminum and ss mesh!

Five versions of the powerplant and I am complaining about doing one twice. You are a patient man.
