Time to throw a cat amongst the pigeons...

Only been running for about a month now after the conversion, long and expensive job but it was so satisfying to take her for a drive again after just under a year in the garage!

Oooof, that LT1 looks really nice.

Brad - loving your work - Are those some sort of V band type joiner on the pipework? I'm guessing that everything is solid mounted?

Work in progress:

They're Adel Wiggins flexible tube connectors; no more stupid silicone joiners and t-bolt clamps not to mention leaks on IC or rad piping

ps very jealous of your wire tuck and how neat your bay looks!

This is the most current pic I have. It is still in progress and is still missing a few items.
Sorry for the crappy quality.
