    Ok so the skirts needed a little something to match the splitter. I like this better.

    working on a sideskirt too

    started on the exterior stuff, getting a front splitter made up.

    Thank you!

    tried my first attempt at making a turbo, don't think it turned out too bad

    doesn't look like much, but spent a bunch of time removing the molded in plug wires, filling in the holes in the heads and drilling new wire holes. Also started cleaning up various mold lines etc.

    And I'm saying i am pretty sure that is not factual information. the LS1 debut was in the c5 corvette and then the Fbodies. The iron block motors went in GM trucks. I started with part number 1198 chrome wide d'. I think Ive seen them avalible without the dayton style wheel as well but if I recall correctly the price was close enough that I just got these.

    OK so I wasn't happy with that intake and i started over. This one I like much more. I could run it backwards too for a different twist. ill see how much room i have to play with when stuff starts coming together.

    So the front suspension placed the front wheels too far back on mine, I ended up using the factory parts.

    This is so awesome

    I think you are confused about the Buick thing though... The only buick the LS was in to my knowledge was the suv

    Exactly it, I'm building something id love to build in 1:1 one day. This is much cheaper. I contemplated putting the coyote from the new boss in, but I don't have that at the moment
  14. exesivefire
    started working on a intake manifold

    You'd be surprised how many LS motors are in 1:1 fox bodies. It was this or a new 5.0 out of the new boss.. I already had this though

    got the trans cross-member in and the engine now fits in its new home
  17. exesivefire
    had to do some cutting to the trans tunnel to get the larger trans in so the motor would sit right. after doing that the motor dropped right in. I'll make a new cross-member as soon as i finish up the sanding

    finished the wheels up, I think these fit the car perfect. Figured it was easier to trim the aluminum hoops than try and fit the integra wheels in them (once you remove the lip on the plastic integra wheel the diameter of both was really close) a little sanding on the back of the plastic wheel and I was good to go.
  19. exesivefire
    I think they are? They were the wide daytons and I just popped out the plastic part.. I got one done, three to go.
  20. exesivefire
    Think I figured out wheels for this thing, pegusus tires and rings, gonna trim them and a set of integra wheels (i think?) should work out well and give me a easy way to have two color wheels too.
  21. exesivefire
    working on removing the trans cross member now
  22. exesivefire
    forgot that.. Working on putting a LS motor in there now. Also thinking olive drav, and shark mouth paint, little weathered.
  23. exesivefire
    Kinda want to build this car in 1:1, so i'll try it here. Kind of a no nonsense, make it go fast and look "ok" kind of build, one you can have a blast in and who cares if it gets dinged. Not much to show, but removed the side molding, carved in the body line and removed the 5.0 badge (not going to keep the 5.0)
  24. exesivefire
    uhhh..... WOW
  25. exesivefire
