Iam 23 years and have had the car since i was 15 years old. well its a 79 Z28 and iam trying to rebuild it. so I have a 2002 ls1-t56, with a torquer v-3 cam kit, ported ls6 oil pump, pushrods and pacesetter long tubes, and a moser 12 bolt rear. all the other stuff you can make out for yourself as its not much yet. so here are some pics.







Here you can see what i had to do inorder to use the ATS clutch braket. cut the slot our to the bolt/screw for the steering column




and what i started with after i took it apart the first time when i was going a diffrent route then PT from stock

NO but im open to what ppl think will look good, something that you can really see the carbon fiber hood and trunk that i will soon order from Matt at anvil.

retake the first shot, but get the WHOLE car in the picture. Make sure the whole car is lit nice like the first picture. Set your camera on high-res.

Send me the picture for our F-body garage. This month we start handing out prizes for the best photos so take a good one and you can get in print AND maybe win something cool from DSE.

Thanks,

Have not done much as I cut a tendon in my left hand and have not been able to use it for the past three weeks and still have about two more to go but I still get around and work on the car just dont tell my Doc got the core/support back from powder coating and you can see were the blasting broke threw were the battery had been leaking, but not much i can do about that now. at least you wont see it, along with the hood hinges.I also had sent out my LS1 T/B to be ported, and to have the cross shaft and bump stop mod done to it and I think that it came out real nice, for those that know about the rear brake situation iam having to get a machine shop make the rear t-bolts that i need for the KORE3 e-brake kit to work with the big ford bearing on my moser 12 bolt but i should have it together next week but hear are a few pics of the parts on the car and still need some clips and stuff but i cant get those free from work will post up more whn it happens.

I used the big style ford bearing but got the chevy 12bolt ends. with these ends you haft to use a t-bolts because the tube is so close to the hole. and with the kore3 kit need longer bolts so i having them made. I hope that makes sense

yeah that would be great ....
had to put everything on hold just need to find garage space (been looking for the ideal place to start problem is i lve in Jersery city , nj and it so hard to find the proper space for the right price to storge and work on the car) so the car has been sitting :( it sucks got tons of parts for it and cant doing anything about it
