Re: 37 Ford LS2 Continuation thread
 

Spent the day today getting the front sheetmetal aligned....and Dave was over getting the wiring ready for the Dash installation and he also got the Driver Information Control button (DIC) that came out of a GTO to work and the Dash Module now functions just like the factory designed......Pretty cool....I also decided to keep the Fog Lights as turn signals, I'm just going to make new mounts for them so the bottom of the light will be the same height as the top of the bumper......called the place I got the bumpers from and they are sending out a rear bumper next day air .......Man....that went too easy............

I searched and searched and couldn't even come close to finding one fitting this excellent piece of work.


Here is one from the guy next door that NEVER has the right tool.

I decided to not rush everything and not push getting the car done for the Dells.....Too many little things I need to make and finish......Maybe Rolling Meadows in two weeks [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Ken..the rear view of the car shows all that cool rear end stuff...and I know you won't mind me telling you the right muffler is a little crooked. I know how anal you are about that stuff.

A bad ass car!

Re: 37 Ford LS2 Continuation thread
 

I'm really digging the way the wheels fill the wheel wells and the way it sits. And I think that's pretty much the not-so-minor key to building a bad-to-the-bone hot rod. 'Course, a bunch of new GTO stuff doesn't hurt this one either. I'm in Lust &lt;g&gt;.

Re: 37 Ford LS2 Continuation thread

Re: 37 Ford LS2 Continuation thread
 

I really didn't mind the fog lamps but the encased turn signals are a perfect fit for this car. Very, very cool. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Is there an official schedule for the '10 car show tour of Da Wizz? I can't wait to see this in person!

Re: 37 Ford LS2 Continuation thread
 

Got the dash and window molding back from the painter....I didn't want to go with a shiny dash, so we went with a satin finish......now that it's done, I don't know if I like it....oh well.....there will be a decorative emblem in the blank area below the center A/C vent to fill in that area.....here is the GTO gauge module and dash install...
