Ken, Let me start out (Again) by saying your work is Great! I was browsing LS1tech and came across your previous build and the car is Awesome! Then it was linked to this build, (took me 3 nights of reading for both!!) which you are yet again doing great work!
I am sorry about the car not being as advertised, but i also commend you on how you handled it! As car guys its easy to get our "One Track Mind" stuck on whatever we are trying to accomplish! But you stayed on tracgk for your goals and didnt dwell on it! And yes Karma is a BITCH! As long as you learned from the experience it isnt a loss!
I am working on my own project
My Project Link
definatly not on your level, i am slowly acquiring the tools to get to that point! There were certain things I didnt do because of cost to have it machined, I have been researching lathes, mills etc for the garage.
I saw your disapointment with the brake line flaring tool you had in your previous post, I have this one, honestly they look better than factory, and will do the male side of the GM quick connect, so you could do hard lines without an adapter! And you can add AN flare dies to it! Mine is Bluepoint, but is just mastercool rebadged!
