    As far as the license plate, I've thought of a lot of different ones. Currently it's 2 Z FUTUR but next go around I definitely want something that focuses on the engine. I was thinking maybe LS1 DMC, DVETTE, DELVET is cool too. It will be a tough decision.

    I can get you stainless works exhaust flanges etc at a great price if you need anything at cost. This is one cool project!

    I liked this fifty times more when I saw all your neighbors little pink houses in the background of what I first thought was an on campus college shop of sorts.

    It's clear you are deeply disturbed and deranged in a fine and pleasant way. Enjoy it and give some thought to an extra credit project consisting maybe of a roll bar?

    Salute!

    No-one is to stone anyone, even, and I want to make this absolutely clear, even if they do say "carburetor"

    I think it just may need wheelie bars, especially with some slicks on the back.

    I just drove it down the street and back for the first time with the LS1. I think the neighbors are pissed...
