Thanks. Hopefully I'm done after this one. Even tho I read on here somewhere, that a project car is never finished. 😀

Looks awesome. I may have missed it, but what size wheels and tires are those? Also are the wheels MB Old Schools?

Thanks. I got the wheels and tires off Craigslist, for like $500. They were a little pitted, but they cleaned up well with some 000 steel wool and chrome polish. The tires had great tread. They are 18s and are "Riddler" style(looks like these...http://www.carid.com/ridler-wheels/695- ... Ogod2hMAxg). The tires are BCT s800s(never heard of them) 235/40/18. When it is time to replace them, I will go a little wider, probably 245 or 255, Goodyear or equivalent.

A little update. Today I worked on the 3.5" downpipe. I ordered 2-90s, 1-45, and 4' of pipe from Summit. Still didn't have enough bends. Just ordered 1 more 3.5" 180 bend and 1 1.75" j-bend. This pipe is crazy expensive. I totally under-estimated the price and amount of this stuff that I had to buy. And I ain't done yet. Still have to get charge pipe and couplers. Also in the pic you can see the brace I had to make off the ac bracket to support the 35lb turbo.

You are doing a lot of work under your hood and it does look great. I am really thinking about building my own engine for my SS, so I will be asking you some question.

You know I got you, if I can. Don't know much about LS engines, but I learn pretty quick.
