Looking good Tim! I just realized even with the fast pace that your building at, this December will be two years that you starting blogging about this build, can you see the light at the end of the tunnel yet?!
To be honest that's kinda dis-hearting for me personally, from a pure financial standpoint I couldn't keep up to your pace, which means like what, a 4-5 year build for me? 
Anywho, is that a 4.3 motor out of the original donor car?
The reason why I ask is because I've been focusing my donor car search on 94+ Caprices/Roadmasters with the LT1, for the extra 65ish horsepower over the 4.3, and I've passed up some pretty good deals on the lesser ones..

Yeah, it's the 4.3L motor... I'll end up using all the bolt on parts, and then buying a fully rebuilt version of it. The fully re-built and balanced 4.3L engines are $1600 delivered to your doorstep

Like the new avatar
I put on my mask once looks cool but when i was taking it of got caught over my mouth and nose couldn't breath and of course I put it on when no one was around not the way I would wanna go.....
As for the car I still cant get over how little room there is in it,
for a car that's 20 feet long and all hood it looks like there should be a little more space for the engine....
But having said that I'm still looking foreword to all the hassle.. well not all of it just some of it.......Ok I want things to go really easy, no hassles and getting it right the first time........ but chances of that are the same as me getting my very own dragon for Christmas ..... not gonna happen.....
Thanks for the update and keep em coming I'm in a holding pattern til spring.... insert really big frowny face here...
later dude
