Just a couple mods for this one.. I swear
We've got a bunch of family coming over this weekend so I only had a couple of hours to get the driver seat mount 100% done. I wasted the first half of the day @ a meeting and on the way home I picked up a Miller Plasma Cutter. Man I can't see how I cut parts before. I made 10 tabs for the driver/passenger harness, tabs for the seat support and finished up the seat mount inside of an hour or so. Sunday I am going to try and get the passenger side done and finish priming the cage with Dupont self-etch. I was initally worried about the strength of the seat mounts but after they were done and tied in, they are really strong. Our 43x" LSx is coming home tomorrow so we can start working on getting that ready to go into the car. I think the only two things we need is the converter, get the transbuilt, and the final shipment of small parts from Jason @ TSP.
My dad came over and said he liked how I mounted the seats. Said..."Your not gonna put a passenger seat in.....are you? I replied... "Hell yeah, Jessica needs a place to sit when we go out on the weekends. He laughed but I was fuckin serious as a heart attack.

Didn't get much done this past weekend. The passenger seat mounts are almost done, I still need to weld the washers onto all 4 mounts and weld them to the car. This week should be pretty good for progress.
LSx block is finally 100% done and its getting picked up wednesday - rings will be done thursday and probably assembled on sunday.
Heads are done @ the machine shop also, heads were drilled for 1/2" head studs, 3/8" studs and tapped
Game plan for this week:
Mount BS3
Finish left and right front control arms just need a center brace + travel limiters
Cut out the rear deck - plan on using sheetmetal + carpet for a rear seat delete
Cut out dash area removing windshield wiper box
Cut out/weld dash support bar need to remove some weight
Cut out A B and C pillars, A pillars need to be clearanced so the Plastic covers will side between the A pillar and the cage
Assemble Motor
Build front trans mount chassis mounts - using 1 5/8" chromoly tube for crossbar bolted to tabs mounted on frame
Swap out mockup motor for LSx and Et heads to finish header fabrication
Build mount for water pump for IC
Fabricate Mount for racepak
Fabricate mount for AMS-1000 boost controller
Looking into ordering:
Transmission components
Bolt together converter
SS for brake lines
