Well, she's put together. The shop is actually going to deliver it to me tomorrow or Saturday (depending on this damn snow storm coming). These pics today were before the windshield/rear window installation and headliner install. I had to give the painter a few of the chrome goodies because he just had to see some of them installed. The shop is using the car as one of it's 'example' build cars on their website soon. The problem is that it's now almost too pretty to drive (my opinion) and I'll be afraid of scratching it putting it back together.

My Baby's Home!
I brought the car home today!!! She got filthy from these wonderful New England roads. After I get some of the emblems on and billet items, I'll post some pics. Very excited. I have 10 days off, and I'll get to enjoy them in the garage!!!

I have 10 days of leave and get to work on the car around the "Honey-do's"... Still excited that she's home. A couple pics :
Loading onto the trailer for the trip:
Loaded and ready to go:
At home today with some "bling" back on:
A little new bling on the outside to pull together the LS3 theme:
Dyna mat and some wiring got installed last night:
The engine bay:
The front minus the headlight stuff:
I've been inspired by Orockers video she made of the build so I'll be having my oldest daughter make on as the build progresses. She's into photography and that stuff.

So so nice. I get what you mean about scratching the paint up. One reason I decided not to go with ghost flames. Mines gonna be a DD. Way to go on all the work.

It looks awesome! And yeah, I know the feeling about scratches. I'm afraid when I take mine home the first time this spring, the shepherd/lab's gonna jump on the door to greet me. Oh well... at least my painter is letting me put the car back together in his insulated and heated garage lol!
Orocker, I went with ghost flames after we found out I couldn't have them BA SS stripes because I have the SS hood. Hey, what else can a guy have if he can't have his SS stripes?
