this is my first post in here, but i've been reading for a while. this car is just getting so outta control that i had to post to just say congrats for making a really badass car. the interior just amazed the **** out of me. my dad drove a 98 vette for a while and its creepily similar.

stereo soon?

that is amazing. completely unique and it took tons of fab hours and lots of knowledge to do this. screw the haters, they dont know what they are talking about anyways.

my question is what are you going to do about wheels... looks like you narrowed the rear end, but the front end is the same width, you going to do a wide body it on or anything?

I don't have a vehicle with an LS1. I probably never will. I came to this forum just to see the build up of this car. Amazing. Simply amazing. Keep up the good work!

Major props on the Civic man the thing looks awesome now that it is coming together.

Any plans to clean up the interior and all, and show it? Or just keep it as a toy?

this has been an insane 36 pages! I must say you are a bastard for getting both cars for the swap for under $1000! What I wouldn't have given for the torque tube and transaxle instead of my t56... Good luck with it! That is way too cool!
