I made them. The grid tail lights were stock on 85-92 higher end models (IROsC and early 90s Z28s). I bought red translucide plastic paint and painted over the amber part. 3 coats inside and 1 coat outside. Then I repainted the black lines and clear coated everything. It came out perfect.

Pics of the air system would be awsome. I don't have much room in my trunk well though. I cut and raised the well area for exhaust exit at the center of my bumper. I have some pics of this over on third gen. Search my user name, DeanJ, if you want to see. And again, looks great, Dean.

Heres an update as promised.

Quite a few things have been done.

-Battery is secured in a bracket made for it.
-Fuel lines are done, Im just missing the 3/8 quick connect fitting @ the fuel rail.
-PCM is in the car.
-Accessories are bolted on the engine and ready.
-Sway bars are fitted on the car, waiting a bracket to finish front.
-Front brake lines are done.
-Corvette fuel filter is installed in the OEM location.

Its still lacking some pieces, but hey, its getting there! Next spring is gonna be a blast. Im almost ready to fire it up. Im still looking for a 3rd gen LS1 header. BRPHotrods, Im looking your way

Ill let the pics do the talking.

Looking great! Just curious, are smaller air tanks available for those systems?

That car is super clean man. Really clean. Are you going to go with the Hawks headers, or something custom?
I notice the Corvette pan, very cool and gives you tons of ground clearence, but is that gunna throw your header design off?
You said not to go with the Spohn? Why not?

I bought a set of used Hawks headers. I did not received them yet... and dude, I hope the vette pan clears because it would suck to have to go with a f-body pan. The lowest point of the vehicule would then become the oil pan, which kinda suck in my book.

As far as the Spohn crossmember goes, I was gonna buy that piece, then I made my research and saw that a lot of the guys (if not all) that bought it had trouble either getting the engine mounts on it (they didnt line up) or it pushed the front wheels like 2 inches to the rear, changed the ride height... crazy stuff like that.

The Hawk's headers will clear the Corvette oil pan. I have them on my car and didn't have any clearence issues. Your car is an inspiration to all of us that are building their cars in the garage! Awesome build!

Beautiful car man. Just talked my buddy into an LS Iroc for his next build. May end up talking him into a white one as well. That engine and tranny are spotless. Did you buy them that clean or what? How did you clean them if not. Have one in my garage now getting ready to go in my 240 and would love for it to look that good. By the way I have the same garage floor as you. Did you use the clearcoat on yours to get it that shiny? If so, how does it seem to hold up?
