Can you read any of it? Mine looks like it was yanked off by a grizzly bear with a blow torch. I was able to enhance what's left of it to pull the correct codes. DPO has listed three of them incorrectly. Thought he had F41 suspension on a 1970.

Making more progress on my engine. Need a few more things. Haven't set the valves yet and need to put exhaust manifold bolts in other side.

Unfortunately, the PO2 wheel covers are long gone replaced with regular Rally wheels and caps. I haven't seen another LS5 with my same option list, so I'm thinking it's a fairly rare combination.

Got the valves adjusted and now just need a few more small parts to be able to install it. Looking towards mid September or early October. Just need to convince the wife that I need to spend more than I was planning this month on the car. Need mufflers, starter, AC compressor, and some other parts which were not on the list for this month. Just getting antsy since I have not seen the car together in over 20 years. I've owned it for less than 2 years.
