Currently the windshield is sitting in place (wedged in there cause the body guy couldn't get it installed) so that will be installed in a day or two.
Carpet should be in shortly also. Then I have a few misc things to finish up and it will be officially on the road. It will still take awhile to completely finish it but after over 2-1/2 years its great to have it on the road.
I ended up running some dual piston aluminum calipers that are replacements for the originals. The camaro calipers just wouldn't fit. I haven't gotten on the brakes real hard yet to see just how good it will stop.
Also, I got an initial alignment a few weeks ago when it wasn't street legal (no tail lights and a few other minor things) so the alignment shop didn't test drive it and my airbags may have not been set 100% to the right height. Anyways it seems a little squirly on the road, and I think I need some negative camber added in (it almost looks like it has a little positive camber now, and some negative will give me more fender clearance :D )

You need to link your build thread in your sig. Lots of nice builds on this site, but not many trucks.
