Oh crap! That does look pretty terrible

 

Good news and bad news....good news first:

My dad got to finally hear it run yesterday. He said it sounds great, not too loud but has a nice tone.

He couldnt drive it home because they need to address a few small things first:

-forgot to ground the electric water pump so it wasnt kicking on
-need to burp the cooling system
-power steering gearbox seems to be leaking and will need new seals
-we believe the t bolt on the clutch fork is loose because when the pedal is depressed fully theres a bad grinding noise


Bad news:

Insurance isnt covering the damage to his car so the repairs will come out of pocket. He is going to try to get it taken care of within a few months if possible.

 

Congrats on the start-up!

 

Congrats on getting it running and that really sucks about the rear end damage. I hope he is able to get it all taken care of and be able to enjoy the car!

 

Still haven't fixed the body damage but it did make it's maiden voyage today (finally!). It gets dropped off Monday to have the body fixed. We're still fixing just a few minor bugs that come with any swap but it runs and drives nice and is a fun one to watch going down the road. We took it on a 200 mile cruise for its first drive and it didn't have any hiccups which is a testament to Z28ricer and his wiring harness that he made for us. Enjoy the pics and the YouTube video of a startup and it idling. It's not loud but the SLP two on the left catback sounds great. The white car is my brother's 97 SS heritage clone.

 

 

That is absolutely gorgeous lt1 with leather = perfect.

 

Gor-Jus !

Inside and out, both cars are beautiful, congrats.

 

The body damage has finally been fixed and you can't even tell that it ever happened. It looks amazing, definitely pleased with the result. The aftermarket rear bumper from Classic Industries looks great as well.












Last picture has nothing to do with the body work, just showing how straight the car is.

 

sexy.
