Not new to cars at all built a few in my time. Got bitten by the LSx bug, so here's my latest creation.

1966 SS Nova, stock 5.7L vette motor, 4L60E, 3:55 rear. Heidt's clip with stock suspension in rear. Rick's stainless tank, Harness by techrods, did my own tuning, and built everything you see except the paint, which I am not happy with. It is getting a frame off late next year after the power tour, and I finish my wagon. Right now I'm getting ablmost 24 MPG in the current configuration...
