That does look cool!

So, what color are you going to paint it? And like Joel, I want to know how the LT1 is running.

IT RUNS JUST THE WAY IT SHOULD, WITH NO PROBLEMS AT ALL . THE HEADERS GIVE IT A LITTLE EXTRA KICK , AND THE STOCK MUFFLERS GIVE IT JUST THE RIGHT GROWL Wink . THE EGR VALVE AND PLUMBING ARE GONE, AS IS THE CHARCOAL CANISTER . DOESN'T AFFECT THE RUNNING IN THE LEAST ! I'M JUST NOT USE TO THE WAY THE OVERDRIVE KICKS IN , AS I'VE NEVER HAD AN OVERDRIVE CAR ,BUT, I'M ADJUSTING TO IT . Thumbs%20Up . IT DEFINATELY WANTS TO GET UP AND BOOGIE ON THE HIGHWAY !!
AS FOR THE COLOR , I'M HAVING A PEARL BLACK DONE. I JUST HAVE TO DECIDE WHICH ONE, AS THERE ARE NUMEROUS VARIATIONS . I MIGHT ALSO GO WITH FIBERGLASS BUMPERS, AND HAVE THE SEAMS GLASSED OVER FOR A SMOOTHER , SLEAKER LOOK . Cool .
GLAD YOU GUYS LIKE MY " LIL ' PROJECT ! Clap
