Thanks guys. I cant wait to see how it looks with all the chrome and trim back on.

Scratch, It took about 3 months

Mike, I havent started the interior yet, still gotta do the whole electrical system and build an exhaust among lots of other stuff.

Rog, I hope your paint job turns out this nice. It looks like it will with how much effort you've put into it.

Ill post some more pics as progress continues.

I hope Street Shop sells that accessory kit. That would make life easier with a more attractive option than the ugly OE stuff for LSX swaps.

Got the intercooler heat exchanger mounted. It suprising how little room there is in the front of a C3. I made some tubular brackets to hold it in front of the AC condenser. Hopefully the brackets wont impede airflow thru the 3 heat exchangers. The radiator is a DeWitts with dual E fans. Next I have to engineer the plumbing for the intercooler(resevoir, pump hoses etc)

Almost forgot, got the "gills" and stingray emblem back on. I think they look pretty cool.

curious what you did for your fuel system, we went with the vaporworx system and factory dual ctsv fuel module. the LSA motor needs to have a fuel system capable of 87 psi.

Gator, the Street shop chassis came with a stainless tank and the appropriate pump already installed. I just pulled it out yesterday to install the sender and filler neck. Also put the new calipers on. Big brakes!

Really liked the LED halo taillight mod that forum member 7t2vette did to his white coupe. I ordered some LED halos and 1157 bulbs from Superbrightleds.com and proceeded to mod up the tailights. Ive always liked the looks of 4 round red tailights so I ditched the inboard back up lights and replaced them with turn signals. Havent finished wiring the back end up yet but heres a few pics with the halos fired up.
