Default PICS...UPDATE #3...Hopefully it will look like a Corvette again. PICS!!!

With the 10 inches of snow we received Thursday night and my shop losing power Friday it was a long weekend!

This is going to need a little more than duct tape!

The history is in these three threads:

First Post
My Z06 will no longer be my fastest car, but it's still my favorite

Second Post
PICS UPDATE #1: The LS2-LS7 Swap Race Car Project PICS !!!

Third Post
PICS UPDATE #2: PICS Update #2 Bye Bye LS2... Make way for the LS7PICS !!!



Anybody want to make a guess on completion date?



















Maybe because it's my project, but I love these pictures even though it resembles destruction and nothing of the finished product.

I hope some of you are enjoying this?

I guess this is how a mother feels looking at an ultrasound!

I my be crazy but, I think that car might be a Corvette.

I wonder if you can just order a box of parts from Gm instead of the whole car.

Keep the updates coming.

You are one brave man!
Actually, this last set of photos made me chuckle. When I was a kid, I had a propensity to take things apart and (try to) put them back togther trying to figure out how things worked. Usually it went fine. Sometimes, I ended up with a few parts left over... Hmmmm... wonder where this was supposed to go??? On one such occasion, I had taken a bicycle apart. The "extra" part ended up being a handle bar retainer. The broken arm healed in about 6 weeks... Hope you have way better luck then I did.

If you put it together as fast as you are taking it apart, barring unseen catastrophes, I guess February 9. My $10 in the pool!

It will be bolted down tighter than the Z06 roof!

Besides this thing is going to be a little on the loud side so I won't be hearing any squeaks!
