Humor me, I'm at work all day on a Sunday, and you can tell I'm bored. :sleeping:

I'll start: The Bandit is currently in the shop under the knife receiving the following:
--
Wilwood big brake kit
Hurst Line loc
Edelbrock RPM Air-Gap manifold
Trunk-mounted Optima Red Top
Remote Oil filter
New head gaskets (due to leaky copper ones)
Brodix Race-rite heads (provided I ordered the right ones)
and miscellaneous and assorted other crap...
--
I miss driving it already... :crying:
Hopefully it won't be down for too long.


For those of you lucky enough to have multiple vehicles, just tell me about the main one you drive the most, or your main project...:naughty:

Finish all the suspension mock up now that the LS7 arrived.

Complete the Chassis so we can get it on the ground.

I just need to get it back together so I can figure out the next steps and start the 67....

I have to finish putting in the Mark VIII fan & SPAL controller. Should be done tomorrow.

I am also doing a cs-130 alternator & TC steering pump/cooler and of course an acessory drive to run it all. I am also switching to a short water pump.

I need to regasket the oil pan, so I am going to do a remote filter setup as well.

If the IRS is good to me I might buy a garage to put around it too.

Forged rotating assembly should arrive from Callies/Compstar this week.
Billet runner cross-ram intake should be done from Beck this week.
Then I drop the LS7 block and parts off at LME to have them build my 427ci.

When the engine is done, I'll start taking the car apart to 'pro-tour' it. Right now it is just stock with iForged wheels on it. I'll be changing...everything on it.

Where to start....

The new engine parts are at the shop for assembly, 427c.i. SBC, eagle forged rotating assy, comp cams solid roller cam, Wiseco pistons, AFR 210 heads.
T56 with Weir bellhousing and hyd. TO bearing. Need to mount the pedals and master cyl. on the car.
Stealth Ram intake with FAST XFI controller.
Delete the AC system and block off the firewall, then smooth and paint it.
Remove the C5 front suspension and brakes and send to the powder coater.
decide on what gears to install in the Moser 12 bolt I need to order.
Install the ZQ8 bumpstops on the front.
Finish the trunk and remount all the stereo gear.Thats not all, but it's enough to keep me busy until April.

American autowire 67 Camaro led tailight kit is going in this weekend or before. Decided to make it a little bit nicer view for the people behind me.

As soon as I get done crying about how much less awesome my mods are than half the people in this thread's....

I'm torn between stripping the old girl down bare, finding out what's metal and fixing what's not, and then going for a really nice repaint....or leaving the scars and dents from my fender-bender as battle wounds and doing wheels, brakes, and rear gears.

I also have GW subframe connectors and a flaming river PS box sitting at home waiting on me.
