Well, it's taken me a couple days but I've read the whole thread, watched the videos and I've come away mighty impressed!!

You've inspired me to get off my butt and tackled a bunch of small stuff while I'm buildin' cash for the cool stuff.

Ok ok so im suppose to take TT Wed to body shop to get color sand and buff, i also put a thero sensor in the water neck, and been testing little things here and there...

Also been ordering some little goodies here and there, like decals for the air cleaner, emmissons, jack, etc etc decals from OPGI, also ordered and got today for gbodyparts.com is the a/c delete cowl so water wont drip into the bay.. I learned my lesson from project elko..lol, and elko warren told me about it too...

Huummmmm oh yea some new chevy chrome valve covers, with alll the mock up in the bay i put a cpl dents in the new 350 valve covers, so tossing those.. Ummmmmm oh wait and ordered my ELECTRIC CUTOUTS from BadlanzHPE STAINLESS steel kit.. Those are coming in the mail... This gbody bug just dosent stop!! :rofl:

Also im going to get another stock hood, cut the bubble scoop off the GN HOOD, and fab it to the stock hood, so that i wont have that problem with the lines and front popping up lol !! IM GOING TO MAKE IT WORK!! Staying positive and getting it done.. Stay tuned..
