I call her "Pro-Crastination"...
Well, I've been around for a while...have lurked and seen many fine machines...then finally decided it was time to drop that LSx motor into my ride! Thanks to many guys on this forum for the inspiration while I toiled overseas time-n-time again!
After 17 yrs and many iterations, I decided big brakes, EFI motor, and all the luxuries of a new car were due....

Your car looks friggin' fantastic. You deserve mad props for doing the car "backwards" and pulling it off. Great work, we understand how hard these jobs are! The wheels look killer, and the colors are right on!

thanks guys! Yeah, I bought the car when my daughter was three years old! She's now in her third year of college! It's my 12 year old son's turn now!
I had the car's body work and paint done 11 years ago. Upon my last return from an overseas tour in Nov '10 i decided to get an LS set-up for the car (Thanks Travis!). Thinking I only needed to do the conversion, I set out for a two month job... well, once Brian and his crew at ScreaminPerformance started into it, the truth of 43 years of driving came to light! I had to redo the floors, etc if I wanted a solid ride!
So, here we are, 9 months later awaiting the "birth" of my baby! More pics to follow as we get ready to fire her up!

Looks great, how about coming out to Old Town Kissimmee once the weather cools off and the car is done? I'm drooling over the Baer brakes. Did you have any fitment probs with the rear rotors clearing the lip around the center of the axles? I just read on one of the big brake company's web sites that some axles would interfere with the rear rotor.
Oh, before you slap on the front clip, do the G-mod to go with those nice new A-arms.- David
