Finally...pics!
Been a member for years now. Just now posting pics.
This car was bought as a theft recovery. It was totally stripped. No drivetrain, no interior, nothing. This is an example of what can be done with a salvage car. It's been a great car with zero issues. My dad and I built it from scratch. It's a low mileage (5k miles) Z51 widebody. While this route isn't for most people, it worked out great for me and I love it. Many thanks go out to Gene Culley and company for the help with parts. I have to say thanks to RLSEBRING for his help with some parts and info as well.

That's a first I've got to look at it too. Turned out very nice. Does need the front splitter. 
(BTW I just picked up another 08 coupe. smashed front (aren't they all) so lets the headaches begin).

Good for you! I take it you've ended up spending a lot less than buying a complete used car? What year is it? Did you stick with the same year's engine? Maybe a list of exactly what you've put in / done to the car would be cool.
