Mike- You don't want to live to close to me, I make a lot of noise


Ken, I could live real close, that's not noise, that's music to my ears. All I can say is, turn it up a little, it's not loud enough yet.

BTW, I changed plans on my project, I ditched the LT1. I picked up a complete LS1 & 4L60E combo today.

The next step is to cut the frame. I'm going to channel it 4" in the front and
3" in toward the rear. I will take 3" out of the frame in the center of the car. That way I won't loose anymore head room than the chop took away. then I will lower the front of the car over the frame 1" at the cowl only. This will give the car an extra 1" of rake and Lower the height in front 1" which will lower my grill shell an additional 2" and keep all the body lines straight.
Then I cut the 1 1/8" pie cut out of the rear section of the frame to raise it
6" in the rear.
When I cut the side rails out I weld a piece of 1 1/4X1/8 flat bar to tie the but weld back together.
I have cut 4" out of the firewall. So the toe panels angle will match where I cut the frame. So when I put the floor in It will give me the stock length toe panel.
I hope the photo's help with this explanation! I'm doing this and I'm having a hard time following this
also there is a shot of how much the front rails will be raised.
