Default My LM7 build

Hi guys. I have been lurking around here for some time now and figured it was over due to show my build progress thus far.
It is a 90 GTU and I bought it in Feb. of this year and didn't get to start on it till May. Here is my progress thus far.

rust repair











interior cleaning







engine











starting engine bay





sway bar spacers





engine mock up

















I will have more pictures soon since I just got my T-56 and my Holden manifolds. I hope you guys enjoy the pics.

Holden manifolds? Is that a common thing or are you trying something new?

Looks good. What are your plans for a hood?

Thanks guys, I really appreciate the comments.

jgonzales: I think I may be trying something new, I haven't seen or heard of anyone useing the Holden/GTO manifolds, these are the 06 ls2 models.
I am a GM parts consultant so trying things out is one of the perks of the job. If they are not to my liking, I will just send them back.
By my measurements, they should fit perfectly. We will find out tommorrow.

andrewb70: I don't know just yet. I have a lot of drawings laying around right now but will have a better idea of were I am going with it this weekend. The car is also going to have 50mm wider fenders and quarters, so it will need to flow with the whole design. I will start out with some cardboard for a begining and go from there. I will post pics as I go through the process.

Nice progress. I take it you will be making your own fenders? Wanna make 2 sets?
