I believe it is gone. The car had no trunk floor and rear frame rails due to rust before the previous owner got a hold of it. I'd imagine that anything that was there is long gone. [

Got a new black carpet set in today donated by Rick's First Gen!
Sept 29th is the day we're grabbing the car. The truck is reserved and the trailer borrowed, the build officially begins on Sept. 30th!

Got some new parts in! Thanks to WS6 on the pro-touring board for donating this LS1 valley pan!
And thanks to Gail Day Automotive Memorabilia for donating this T56 6-spd shift ball!
And we also recieved this blue LED Raptor shift light donated by R&D Speed!
I also just got back from AutoFair yesterday. I took a bunch of flyers and handed out about 50 to different vendors and told them what I was doing. Most of them seemed very interested, and all listened to me, so that was cool! I got the shift ball from a vendor, hopefully we get some more from it as everyone gets back home from the show!

It is all set up to pick up the car on the 29th. The guy installed new front floorboards, a new door skin, a hood, and a new dash panel. Here are the pics he sent me so I know what I'm picking up on the 29th. 8)

Got some more goodies in today! Toyo tires has generously donated a set of Proxes 4 tires - 245/45ZR17 for the front and 275/45ZR17s for the back.
And my little boy can't wait to have his Uncle Shawn back home!

And also dropped the 5.3L off at HRT Performance today for the rebuild! These guys know their stuff and are good guys to deal with. Helps that Joel is a good friend, but I'd take my work there anyway. 
And check out those sexy powdercoated AMC valve covers on the bench. (yes, I do their powdercoating for them :lol: )
