Well, It's about time this build saw some progress. I've ordered several parts over the past few days but unfortunately the crazy weather here has been delaying everything. I should have some updates with pics sometime next week.

The packaging of the radiator was suprisingly subpar 
but thankfully everything arrived undamaged.

No problem man. I'm glad you got it sorted. Those radiators are too nice to get bent up and damaged by some clumsy shipping carrier. Btw has my latest order been shipped yet or is it still being fabbed? I can't wait untill my parts start showing up

Got some more goodies today 
DSS aluminum driveshaft and cobra axle kit with 300mm axle shafts. (these bad boys are beefy)
Thanks to Ls1-fd for the hook-up!
Now I have everything I need to put my axles together, just need to remove the large nut holding my stockers in. Does anyone know what size it it?

Thanks man, Your car is actually one of several that helped me decide to go lsx.
I really wanna take this thing to DGRR 2011 but I'm afraid I just don't think I have enough time to get this thing together. But if by some miracle I do It would be nice to see some other LSX fds there.
More parts are on the way so stay tuned

You were told the truth, These WILL NOT fit a stock-bodied FD. I plan to roll AND pull the rears. And I've already ordered some wide fenders for the front

I am in process of replacing my tranny brace bushing...was using the OEM rubber and it got pulverized. Rear tranny seal started leaking tranny fluid on it and basically degraded the rubber.
If you can, I'd rec switching to energy suspension or similar bushing that will hold up more.
Surprisingly, it was no real noticeable difference in noise/vibration.
Just a tip from experience.
Love the wheels too

^Thanks
I got one axle completed minus the boot clamps. Here it is above the stocker for comparison.
This was a PITA but now that I've done one the other should be a breeze.

Looks like you are stocking some pretty sweet parts. I think the next big thing I do to my ls1 car and probably the 20b car when it its done will be the cobra rear end swap. As of now my 1st gear is pretty useless with a t56 and the stock turbo 2 rear end. A set of 3.73s or maybe even 3.55s would be pretty nice. Plus I would get even better gas mileage.
