Is it just me or those wheel wells seem uberly large ? Perhaps the wheels are too small ? Does anyone else find that awkward.. I know the engine is not in but the radius around the wheel to body.. Are those body panels exactly the same size as OEM ? Not necessarily a bad thing..

its the wheel.. its 16 with a small tire... and not having the liner and having wide fenders and a kit makes the wheel wells look huge...

thank you Gordon... the interior idea is still up in the air, but if you got any references id appreciate it.

Just curious. When you had your irons lapped on your last engine. Did they re nitrate coat them and also how many miles did you get before it popped.

Looks great but why U no put bracket and coils away from the heat and off the engine to keep em cooler which would be the optimum for the coils..

i could of and plan on it later.. but for now.. this is the best option.. first being that it doesnt take up room any where else, and the ls1 coils are located right by the exhaust on those motors.. so this shouldnt be to big of an issue.. im also going put gold foil on it just for kicks..
