Wow, Cris. That car is coming along very, very nice. Looks awesome!
I'm digging the rear and the dash. We need more pics when the dash is complete.

We changed the spoiler before the owner came for a visit.. approved what you see in the car.. This is the set spoiler for now.. I am not even done with car yet & we are talking some changes on phase two..

Tires are Nitto NT05's

I dont remember seeing anything about it after the upcoming visit comment....I like it the way it is (took some time tough) just wondering if you guys are set about it or ???

Also, what tires are these already??

Loving every nut on this one!!!Your creativity is really taking this thing to a new level!!

Lead.

Hey Cris, it was good talking to you the other day...

I think what I meant to say is just order me one of these in a deep electric blue but can I get it in a convertible instead?

This is real nice. It is good to see local talent setting the bar real high and doing such quality work.

Quick question: Are you concerned about the return oil line picking up heat on the way back to the engine?

Forget the parts list, just order the combo and Super-size it.

Now that I have seen all of this, and read the whole post I feel inspired, but after all of this reading I need a nap.

Again, awesome work and love the attention to detail.

At first I thought it was the space shuttle landing but now that I read your post I understand. Sounds very bad asszzzzz.

Hell yeah Cris! That's awesome. I'm hoping next saturday or the saturday following I can stop in. I'll give you a call when I find out what works best and see if it's cool with you.

Sounds awesome!

Ron- I was wondering who was gonna be the first about giving a hard time about the steering wheel..

Jeff- Car will be leaving to the upholstery shop on Tuesday.. It will be gone for a few days.. Call me before you come out to make sure that it is here..

I was anxious to here the exhaust system on this car!


The car kicked me a fought me all day yesterday to get fired up.. The one thing that worried me the most was that I opened up the wiring harness that Speartech had re-worked for me & cleaned it up & loomed it in nylon braid.. My fear of LS wiring on LS conversions is completely gone.. Getting the engine to build oil pressure before fire up was time consuming.. but once pressure was built it was smooth from their.. The dry sump oil system worked out great.. It holds about 11 qts of oil.. The temp maintained @ 180 thru first fire-up.. The ProPart Spek gages are awesome... But I am having a problem getting the the rest of the gages.. ProParts is working on getting the rest of them to me this week..

The smoked glass on this car is going to look great... Today I get the rest of the door glass in..

The SEMA crunch continues!
