thanks for all the responses...I wish I could post more updates but...progress is really slow...working on restorations and metal fab...and body repairs all day for a job...kinda not what I wanna do in my free time
but...I have a 6.2 ls3 in the build stages that should be around 700 hp when done...so I'm headed to the finish line...I gotta hear this thing run ! |
