I have been working on it since Woodward every night. One would think it should be further along than this, but when you only get a few hours every night it takes FOREVER, so it seems anyway. I was hoping to have it running by now, but probably by the end of the month I might be able to turn the key. Obviously from the pics there is still quite a bit of work left, but a lot of it is just cleaning up some wiring and getting the dash installed for good. It's already been in a few times trying to get everything to fit just right and I think I pretty much have it ready to go in to stay. Plumbing is all done except upper radiator hose which I should have this week. The center console has a lot of work left on it, as you can see. Anyway, here's some pics that I took before I quite for the night(at midnight as usual) I'll also post a few from Woodward, we just pushed it out there for the day. Most people didn't even realize it wasn't done.:lol: Hopefully next post will be a video:thumbsup: Sorry for the poor quality pics, oh well, no time to worry about that right now.:willy:

if there's any chance you'll go you should book your rooms now. In a few months it'll be hard to get any, and they all have a 24 hour cancellation if you decide not to go.

Thanks guys! The mirrors are vision hot rods VF4 that I cut down a little to fit tighter. As far as the LS7 install, once we put the rack & pinion in, there was no issues at all. I used ATS mounts. They also make a oil pan that lets you keep the stock steering, but I wanted a rack, so I was able to run the stock pan.:thumbsup:

Looks amazing, I hope I get to see this car someday.
How was the LS7 swap? I know my LT1 swap 4 years ago was a royal pain.
Give me details. Oh where did you get that billet aluminum clutch master cylinder resivoir?
