The car is back from the body shop, and looks like a brand new vehicle!!

The custom LS2 402 should ship out this week from SDPC. Not sure how much Neil's death will set back the car's completion, but I'm hoping to have the car back by the end of summer or early September.

I'll post some more pics soon, but here's a link to what Bruce put up on his website:

I have total faith in Bruce, but I also understand that Neil's death is gonna set him back a bit schedule-wise. I know for a fact that Neil was putting in 50-60 hours most weeks, and was a huge asset to Bruce's business. I also know, though, that Bruce is taking a lot of pride in being able to do this car, so I have no doubt it will still be a high priority for him.

The car is starting to really come along, now. Body resto and paint are done, interior has been completely recarpeted, new seats are in, most of the wiring is done, and MOST importantly......... the engine is IN!!

Waiting for Bruce to send me some new pics, but I'm starting to get VERY excited about this. We are finally making some great progress.
