Nice work! He sure can weld!

farmtrucks · 11-17-2015, 10:16 AM

Anybody have any TBSSb or late model Camaro manifolds?

farmtrucks · 11-17-2015, 04:01 PM

Painted frame and rear end

flashed · 11-17-2015, 08:07 PM

It's looking very good .

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-19-2015, 08:44 PM

That is awesome of Boyd for sure!

flashed · 11-19-2015, 10:16 PM

It will be a roller before long.

flashed · 11-20-2015, 04:36 PM

Looking good .

**Advanced Design** · 11-20-2015, 06:29 PM

You guys are making great progress. Looks good!

Well here our donor - 125894 miles

Disassembly has begun

farmtrucks · 12-02-2015, 01:39 PM

Motor out

I like the idea of getting the complete vehicle, especially if you retain the factory computer and such. There's sooo very much stuff on the market to convert a LS into anything. I favor hooking it up the factory way. GM made the best drivetrain stuff, period, don't have to even say a word about the engine. Not many folks insane enough to do this w/ a stink'n dodge or ford...

**Advanced Design** · 12-02-2015, 05:53 PM

The LS engine family is impressive for many reasons. As one example, look at this cylinder wall in a 5.7 from an 02 Firebird with 160k. No ring ridge and the cross hatch is still visable.

farmtrucks · 12-03-2015, 03:55 PM

Fab work on our top rear shock brackets and using a front shock on the rear
This will help get a better angle for the shock

**Dieselwrencher** · 12-03-2015, 05:05 PM

Nice work you guys!

farmtrucks · 12-07-2015, 03:11 PM

Welding nuts onto the broken exhaust studs to remove them

farmtrucks · 12-07-2015, 03:36 PM

30 seconds broken stud removal

cheyennesr · 12-07-2015, 04:00 PM

Awsome trick i learned it from a exhaust shop i worked at after school back in the day. Things like this can't be found in book but can be learned from a true craftsman .great job passing down the tech tips like this one.

flashed · 12-11-2015, 03:29 PM

Wow ,that looks good .

Odaroloc · 12-12-2015, 01:40 AM

Looks Awesome!

Odaroloc · 12-18-2015, 07:53 PM
