If you go with the LPE kit, no relocation is necessary, BTW. It's a good kit

I would have never uttered the word DREMEL and Vette in the same sentence.
Congrats on having the guts to try something like this.
Best of Luck

Someone had to explain that to me a few months ago - because I never watch TV I had not seen the series of advertisements.

Dude!!!
I love watching your "Little" project. All I have to say is you have bigger ***** than all of us here! I cant wait to see the finished product. It looks like it will be one hell of a ride.

That gives me quite a few advantages:
* the flexibility to get EXACTLY what I want (and not someone else's idea of what I want)
* make changes on the fly with no overt financial penalty
* take the time to do it "my way" (not to be confused with the "right way"
)* no one to blame but myself for any screw up or mistakes (I hate the Blame Game!!)
* satisfaction in doing it myself
* pride in a job well done
* a unique car
* and the most important thing for me - I can honestly state that "I built this car myself"
Thanks for all the support. It is greatly appreciated.

And after looking at your pics, I'm thinking I should be taking care of that diff. seal leak myself even though I haven't done one in 20+ years, but GM said they would replace under warranty...
I'll repair it if they screw it up
You are becoming a legend.
If you decide to compile the chronicles into a book, I'll buy one. This is like the TV serials that find their way to DVDs.
Your posts are the ones I read first when I get on-line. Thanks for the updates and I am making it a point to meet you next year at the Cruise-In.
I should have read jersvet first. Not stealing his idea....

What's also great is the photographic evidence of how sturdy the underlying metal structure is...cut up a unibody like that and it would droop like a melted candy bar.
