I feel your pain Harrison... I am 5+ years in, but I am VERY close to the initial startup. A long and winding road to this point...
I will post a "Build Story" at some point in the near future, but here is a teaser...
Mild build LT1, Hughes Performance 4L60e, 3k Precision Stall, 3:90 R200 (originally built for 2.8 and 5 speed - we'll see...), 2001 Z28 tank, new floors, custom rocker panel inner frame rails, Bad Dog frame rails and subframe connectors, 4 point street bar, blah, blah, blah... All welded in and powdercoated, undercoated or painted.
