Quality work, I'm just not so sure on the overall design. The front of the car looks like it's way to big for the rest of it.
That's just me, though. Keep up the great work!

EDIT:
Upon looking at the pics again, it looks great. The skinny wheels in the rear just threw me off. It looks awesome!

The trans was Cryo treated & we installed an LSD. We also installed coil overs, our Big Brake kit, A remote start system, a Warber Hood & some nice new wheels he had bought.

Now that he's back in the U.S. & still serving his country in the Portland area, he finally got a chance to come to Chicago & picked up his car yesterday. He'll be driving it around Chicago this weekend & then on Monday he'll be driving it back to Portland.

Speaking of LS376, I found something interesting while browsing...

Are you uploading it to your YouTube account? As well, you should start selling custom fuel rail covers! (ex. http://i.ebayimg.com/13/!B-...M-RR-WUr!~~0_12.JPG)


Here's the link to the auction incase anyone likes those covers: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymot...sories#ht_2504wt_939

This thread is going to be 8 years old this month.

Today we are working at completing another LS3 6 speed V-8 swap.

Here's a video of the initial test firing of the engine.

While some have spent years trying to complete a LS 6 speed swap, we roll ot the 37th. LS swap today. 27 of them have been using the 6 speed.

This one is an LS3 with the G6 6 speed.

It's a low mileage '88 Notchie & had a 5 speed with a 4 banger.....





We put the Quaife LSD into it & had the internals Cyro treated while it was apart. The LSD is on the left.

Any chance you could post an LS registry so we can see where all the "kids" are located?
