yeah man first off mad props are due, second all i gotta say is that you must have spent some major coinage from that parts list you threw up at the top of the page...? congrats on such a big and awesomely successful project.

what exhaust is that on ur ls, it looks really slick? what is that small emblem under your v8 emblems on that truck??

Very cool pics, thanks for sharing...ah so that's the story on the donor car, otherwise I was wondering if it were possible to do a 04 to 01 conversion on the other car.
