Looking amazing mate! Bagged with a blown sbc, I like! The missus mentioned bagging her LC the other day and I told her that I hadn't seen it done, but now I have! Neat job.

Keep me in mind when the time comes to offload your airbag setup, and if you'd like a feature in Xtreme Holdens magazine upon completion I'd like to talk to you about that too.

Cheers,
Andrew

Well guys it's been painted! It is the blackest car I have seen and I can't believe how straight it turned out. The lines are sharp it is far better than factory. I can't believe it, fricken hell. Due to not having the car in sooo long it didn't seem as though it was mine, but oh yes, can't wait. It gets delivered next wednesday, now for 18 or 19" billets... You guys can help me if you want? Which 'show wheels' or any other brand wheels do you think will suit??? keep in mind they can't be more than 8" wide due to the air bags and not being tubbed.

Can't wait to see pics.

Give us a yell if you want a hand putting it back together one weekend, I'd be more than happy to help get a car like this back into service :D

Can't wait to put all the barnd new parts in and new zinc, and chrome parts to it, my grill and headlight surrounds are getting chromed at the moment. Can't wait! :tease:

Yeah that was what I was thinking too, but every man and his dog has them now, long beach customs make them. Need bling billets I think. :rockon:

Well I won't be going smaller than18" but it would probably be 7" wide at the front and only 8" wide at the back (due to no tubs). :spoton:

Well, a bit of progress...
I have built a 408 chev up and it is now sitting in front of a turbo 400 trans. I have had my grill restored and chromed, etc. etc.

I am up to putting the interior in. I have my new wiring harness and with any luck I will be driving it around October. Here's some pics:
