Yea the Coil covers are nice, but make sure you have the room to bolt them on. If I was installing a LS1 in the 2wd crossmember. I would hit the firewall and they would not work. They are as big as a big block Valve cover.

The Frame, Channel. I can get a pic. But it will be awhile it is at a place getting stuff done, and I don't get there often.

If you look @ the Mount. You will see it has a bracket that slides on the end of the tube. You see the (4) bolt holes. We made a C Channel that slides in the frame notch. This allowed us to bolt that were we needed it, and then we bolted the cross member to it.

If that don't help I will try and post pictures the only ones I have right now is it sitting on the bottom rail of the frame.

Had to upload this pic. I am a little excited to see the gauges in the Billet housing so much I could not wait to show it with the the cut out it is getting to flush mount the shift indicator, and with the powder coating, and polishing done.

I took this about a month ago, and forgot to show it off. Ow well it is getting a lot of work done right now.

Yeh, I think I put that on the first post. It shows I am doing an Ididit Black powder coated column.

I don't know what that has to do with Remote Locks though?

You can use the ididit fob for other functions like door lockes etc.

I noticed the push button start! Where did you get that one from? I am looking into one too because the stock ignition switch no longer fits in mine. Awesome Build! keep the updates coming.

I did a search and found them in China, I contacted them as they are a supplier and they allowed me to purchase just one. I think it is rather good quality. I will find out soon.

I paid about 375.00

Yeh no more pictures, this project has turned a corner.

I found out from the Body guy even before he got started that the frame May be tweeked, He thinks It has either seen a ditch or something. As I do not want to find out, and or put up fighting it all its life if it is true, redoing all that has been done, crossmember, etc....

I am thinking about swithing gears and using everything on my 67 truck. gotta love the interchangable parts.

Well, I just happened to come across a 37 gal tank made by these folks in Oregon.. You can check out the link & the prices but you get what you pay for. I am super happy with mine and it gives me almost an 800 mile range @ 22 mpg... http://www.nwmp.com/index.php?option...-gmc&Itemid=17
