Steve,
Great build! Do you happen to have any additional pictures of the RS universal front crossmember install? Did you cut the factory frame rails completely out or were they the basic correct width especially outside to outside for tire clearance lock to lock?

Thanks-Wes

Havent posted anything for a while so I thought I'd share our "LS to nailhead conversion"






utilizing clutch fan and factory radiator and shroud. I know its the wrong fan...strictly for clearance checking!














480 hp will require a little more airflow than the stock aircleaner snorkel will provide so we put this "window" in.




spark plug wires will drape over valvecovers like stock.....

I love the nailhead tribute and I'm a huge fan of the Riviera, design. Can't wait to see more!

Great idea the 'go anywhere' goal. People should see these rolling works of actually on the move.

I also really like the lengths you and the owner are going to give it a close to stock appearance. As you know on a car like this 'less is more'.
