      Thanks Zip!
      I have seen several outside the box LS cars selling for alot of $$. LS swaps seemed to be an acceptable
      mode of transport for many. Its funny. I bought a restored car just to tool around in, and ended up here.
      Should call it Project Money Pit, but am quite sure that name has been already taken. Infinity is the name of the project.
      The name of the car will be unleashed once the beast itself is let out of its cage.

      Just sent my deluxe door panels,rear side panels,dash pad,grab handle,a pillar panels, and rear package shelf panel to Mike, my fiberglasser.
      He is re designing them (as he did with the center console) out of fiberglass. I am recovering all in leather. Should be interesting!
      Thanks for the positive feedback! PM me the site and name of your car!!!

      Amen!
      I know someone will surely shoot me for this, and maybe it's because I dont know any better, but
      I feel,all things considered (power per cubic inch,physical weight,gas mileage,durabilty,etc.) LS motors are
      unbeatable. If there is a motor out there that is better in all of these catagories, let me know! Ill buy one!

      No doubt about the money pit! Lol. I actually was expecting to see an infinity 5.6 in your car when I saw the title! Haha.. I wanted to rob my nissan titan at one point if not for the unique sound, then for pure messin with the purists factor! You obviously will have an insane car capable of many things!

      17x9 rear (may be 8.5)
      17x8 front (I think)

      Looking at 18x10
      19x12 (whatever Corvette size is)
      Eliminating leaf springs, notched the frame. DSE tubs installed.
      More pics of the seam sealing, metal work next week!
      Added more parts pics above.
      Thanks!!!

      This is a great looking project, I will love to see it as it evolves. Nice choice on the LS swap. I am almost finished with my LS2 swap in a 74 Corvette. I was very unsure if I was doing the right thing by choosing the LS, but at this point, nearly finished, I feel I made the right choice. I feel the Gen 1 motors are a thing of the past and we will see many more choosing to do the LS swap.

      Sure is some work!!
      Going over all metal, even under the car to make sure lines flow well.

      Paint will be black, so maybe starting out cf is a good idea.

      Just ordered Morris Classic Concepts driving lights and 3 point seat belts (front)
      plus rear lap belts.
      Billy has the ability to leave out the amber parking light lamp for use with my 68 Anvil Auto valance.
      He is making mine up to work with the dash mounted switch versus working
      only with the high beams. Now thats service!!
      Robin (not sure if I spelled her name right) at Morris Classic is wonderful to talk to and will treat
      you like gold! I recommend ordering directly from them! Ill post pics of the parts once I get them.
      Car still in paint prison, but should be out soon with any luck!

      Think I am going to do the carbon fiber rear spoiler as well.
      Should go well.
      Want to do just enough carbon fiber to stand out, without looking tacky.
