Hear ya loud and clear. You cant stop with just one mod. Ideas and more ideas, research and enthusiasm. I have been stocking up parts for 8 months so far. Now its time to put it all together. I love this and my wife loves driving the car, so she dont get mad at all when the fedex truck keeps pulling up to house. I cant wait to get it back together. A little at a time and not only is it gonna run good, it gonna look good too.

Thanks for the input cuz it keeps me going strong. -Rich

Dang, wish my wife were like that "A car is something that gets you from point A to point B, not something you work on. You take it down to the shop if it breaks ... period." I guess it didn't help her attitude towards cars when I was working on my car on our wedding day. That will be 25 years ago this June, and she still lets me hear about it.

Some are more fortunate than others. My wife's favorite car is a '69 Z28 that is orange with white stripes. She just told me that the '96 is gonna be 2010 inferno orange metallic. I cant wait and I hope they make it available to the public soon.

Time for more pics. I have the engine fully assembled and bolted up the k-member. I plan on completeing my C5 swap and mating the trans. I will put the front tires on. A jack under the trans and i can wheel it around wherever I want.

I will take pics tomorrow and post them PM.

Almost there. I have to clean the engine bay and move the car out in the driveway.

Thanks Sean. I love it. I really like the red and black combo. I spent more time cleaning the parts and detailing them than assembling the engine. I completely wore out the wire brush on my grinder.

1 short driveshaft, 2 more wheels and a seat on top of the tranny. world's fastest go cart.

I will be mating the car with the engine this weekend. Hopefully the 2 produce 400+rwhp on the dyno.

Thanks to alot of members here, I achieved my goal. I got a ton of parts, advice and made some more friends here. I was clueless one year ago. Now, I know more about camaro's and engines than ever before.

I believe nighthawk15 got me started with some eibach springs and the rest just snowballed from there. Paulster was a big help with his suspension write up. Gator gave me some great advice on the bottom end. FantaZ sold me some tube a-arms and etc. MeanGreen sold me a toque arm way back when then half his garage shortly after. Nice newby headers from slomaro, hell yeah. SSean sold me valve covers and fuel rail covers. Mr. Norris sold me a 58mm TB. Shon at www.herronperformance.com sold me a ton of stuff as well.
I know there are others I got parts and advice from. Thanks to all of you. You are BTTBone!
