Today i went to harbor feight to get a metal grinder and cutter to get started on the floor pan... My bro in law brought his welder so should takle this week or by the weekend...

Also put my ac delete plate and air cleaner... Silicone the delete plate so no leaks...

Oh yea also put in the headliner, rear 6x9 panel, all the rear panels, rear seat belts, and the upper and lower back seats, my older son approved the back seats..lol...im loving the look... Man i just want to hit the streets already, but patiences is a virtual...i will take my time to get her done right and going...stay tuned 🙂

updated a link in my sig for my fronts! Ill have to pull a set for you LS1s front and back (of course Ill do the labor part free!), then shoot the stuff to Warren for his touch (just gotta hit him up, far as price for paint, clean up, etc.)... then Ill help you throw it on and mod the rear...

besides cutting the rear flange, and modding the ebrake, super easy, you need a disc/disc factory replacement prop valve the one that goes in the stock position and accepts the stock lines...

just came across this build thread and DAMN, i wish i knew people like you all down here in texas. all the help you all give each other with the cars knowledge and labor wise. make me want to move out by you all. most g bodies down here are sitting high on 24's with lambos and exotic interiors.. not my thing

Lookin sweet! But big dog, pull it all back out, clean the floor pan up and lay some rust preventative down after you weld the floor pan in. Roll some on the sides and roof... $25-$29 bucks for some chassis saver. I can pick some up from the spot out here and get the loot back when u come. With the way the floor looked, man I'd be doin that ASAP!!
