I think what I'm looking for is the LS7 as pictured below. I did a Google search for the LS9 and it is sweet looking, but not quite the look i'm hoping for.
Ive got you covered there too. The Vette I bought came with two different LS valve covers to make it look like different versions of the LS. One of which was the LS7, I can take some pics if you want. Again, I would be willing to hook you up.

I'm definitely taking notes on this one! I am very interested in how your handling the front-end bodywork alignment and cove as I will surely have to address it when I get back to my build. You appear to have a vision and if any kit needs one, this is it.
Great work so far!

I mocked the grille in and glued the front and rear pans in place. That was fun lining them up. Now on to the body work to fix those rough edges.

Thanks Randy, I really appreciate it. I'm still learning a lot and really working hard to make it look right.
I'll try to take some pics tomorrow before I go to work. I'm hoping to get a little body work done so I can let it set while i'm working.

I've got some more body work done and I'll post tomorrow morning. As for right now, I have some pics of some new wheels I got today from the hobby shop. I think they will really look good with this build.
