looks great, but why is the chassis in with all the bare metal on the firewall and tunnel area?
also what kind of lsx work does your business do/?

Why did you have to modify the trans tunnel? Is it because of the AME front suspenstion or are you using a Viper trans?

Looks Killer. I love seeing '68's get the treatment.

how is it mig welding the SS exhaust? I have never done SS and was wondering how different if at all from regular hot or cold roll steel.

Did you buy the subframe complete with suspension or did you buy the a-arms and spindles elsewhere?

Your Slave cylinder bracket on you firewall looks like what DSE uses on their cars wher did you get yours.
