Ok I've been asked to post so here goes.


Let me know what you think.

Car has a few subtle body features, Deleted marker lights, filled cowl vent and notched rear spoiler. Body matched smooth bumpers.


I converted the LS7 to wet sump.

Very clean build. Impressive power on the motor. I'm hoping to get close to that with my LS7.
