New year, new hope, Jeff Leech from Mid America Ind said my car will be ready this month, that’s 20 months past what the initial estimate was. I will keep my fingers crossed. I am leaning twds the LSX 454/620hp motor and probably FI. Again the longer I have to think about it the more options I come up with.

Any updates?

Its taken 2 1/2 yrs for the 6 month project to be completed and it looks like I will have it shipped home around the 29th of this month. I have posted some pics of the frame on my site below, the center and side sections will be beefed up some.

Its been a while but I finally got my car back this past June and it looks like this coming summer we should be good to go. Here are some more recent pics, the body should come off mid January.

**vstol** · 01-03-2014

Body is back off until final paint and assembly

**vstol** · 01-18-2014

I need a few more brackets for the fuel cell and a couple cross braces for the roll bar but making progress

**vstol** · 01-26-2014

Finished the roll bar and bracket for the fuel cell.

**vstol** · 02-06-2014

I decided to go with BluePrint Engines LS3 427 FI and hope to have the car completed this summer. More pics after the weekend

**vstol** · 02-17-2014

Ready to go to the powder coaters next week if I do not have to notch my front cross member to clear the balancer.

**vstol** · 03-19-2014

slowly moving fwd with the frame being powder coated, suspension apart and ready to be cleaned and clear coated. Will order new bushings and ball joints this week

**vette427-sbc** · 03-19-2014

Frame looks great!

**vstol** · 04-03-2014

Hope to have the suspension cleaned and clear coated this weekend . I did finally get my Dana 44 and it has 3:92 rear and mated with the LS3/427 it will haul the mail. Hope to order the motor in 2 weeks

**vstol** · 04-06-2014

All the suspension is cleaned and ready to be cleaned with aluminum cleaner then etched before I clear coat it
