Beautiful man, keep it up. There are many of us here that wish we could park ours and do the same. God I know I would love too. This makes me want to find a roller and go at it. | |

Car: Faster Engine: Than Transmission: You! | Neil, I'm waiting on a call back from Speartech. We may go a different route for your harness though, I have a couple of hook up's in the works. We may get it from the same people that made that custom LS-1 harness for that white '61 Impala that Jim and I did. Anywho, I'll holler at ya after work.
John - You said you wanted to see my car.... Here's a pic

Car: 1991 Z28 Engine: 305 TPI Transmission: 5 SPD Axle/Gears: 3.73 | Man that body shop of yours is making quick work of that project. Won't be much longer and we will see it in color! Are you doing a lsx swap? I hope you are. That is the next step for my car, just got to figure out how to pay for it  . Are you planning any body mods for underhood appearance?
Make sure you throw up some pics when it gets in primer.
Later,
Brandon

Car: Z28 Engine: 383 Transmission: 700R4 | BADNBLK, yeah I am thrilled to see how fast these guys work and YES I am going with an LS2 (not stock). And for underhood appearances there will be some mods. My goal is too get it looking as clean as possible! The strut tower "lip" if you will, has been welded and will be smoothed for a cleaner look and the same will be done for all the little annoying holes.
Yeah, I can't wait too throw the primer pics up! Wait til you see the pics of the door "handles"! | |

Car: Z28 Engine: 383 Transmission: 700R4 | Thank you for your help Mike! There is so much to be done on this car and I do appreciate you looking into the harness for me.
Now, here are some photos of the frenched in door "handle". It still needs some smoothing and minor angle adjustments, but I definitely like it. I will put a pressure switch behind the door lip (maybe the C6 vette switch will work?). This Saturday I will see it in person and finalize it then.
As for how much I am spending on this......well, it is a VERY fair price! Especially for the amount of customizing and the degree of detail Vintage Restoration of the Woolands is putting into this project. John is very open and willing to hear what I want, very good business man. Thanks John. | |
