I bet cops love those 'full clip' stickers.
Did you fix the inner fender where you cut it, or is it still open allowing water and debris to get inside the fenders?

So the last place we left off... I had cut the front end of the car off... and my motor was out being built. That was a While ago now haha... So here's a big run down of whats been going on.
Got all sorts of rad parts in for the car... Status Ring FIA seat Status 5PT FIA harness Nardi deep suede wheel TOYO R1R front tires 235/40/17 17x9.5 front rpf1 pair and another pair of 18x10.5 rears ARC flat touch switch panel Full Sikky kit Sikky longtubes Harness and ECM for LS1 Modded knuckles ACT 6 puck clutch NAGISA double locking seat rail Prosport guages for custom cluster New HJC helmet FASTRAX track alignment tools Tons more I'm forgetting... Went and picked up the Motor from the guy who built it. All sorts of goodies in this thing... LS6 intake manifold Ported throttle body Titanium valve springs Comp cams hardened push rods ARP head bolts ARP rod bolts 3 layer metal head gaskets Melling high volume oil pump Sikky race oil pan Sikky oil filter relocation Fbody front drive accessories LS2 timing chain Competition cam MSD wires NGK plugs All new pulleys and more junk that I'm forgetting So then we tossed the motor in to get measurements for the tube front that we decided to do. Then we Built this rad tubed front end. My frame is all bent out of whack so at some angles things look funny. We built this front out of the same material used when building cages. With a gnarly big bumper support. With the panels all on and bumper support So took the car back home and began stripping it down completely... In order to paint the whole bay and interior to match the outside. And the whole car is getting a custom chassis harness It was a pain getting all of the sound deadening and its glue residue cleaned out before painting!! So I re undercoated the wheel wells and primered the front end... Then I decided to mix things up and I painted my front 17x9.5 RPF1's luminous yellow... Had to do some cleaning in the garage so I just set this thing down outside... So I decided it was time to lay down some paint and start reassembling this car!! And here's after paint Put all of the suspension in the front back on and set it back down on the ground along with the new modded knuckles. Steering angle isn't super wild but it'll do. Got the new sticky sticky tires mounted on the front wheels and stuck em on the car. Now it was time to make the custom gauge cluster. I did a ton of measuring and made a file and cut it on the CNC router at work out of some fancy acrylic stuff. Made the cluster with the Prosport Premium Peak/Warning 60mm oil pressure and water temp. The Prosport 80mm tach. And Summit racing 52mm digital fuel gauge and volt meter. After Watching some FD on Saturday I went outside and put the car together a little more just to stare at for a little bit haha.. And that's where it leaves off as far as pictures go. Trying to get a lot done this weekend. So hopefully I'll have another big update soon!!! Thanks for all the support fellas!!

So last night we decided to toss the motor in, we still had to install the slave with the sikky lines for the master cylinder and remote bleeder. If you noticed, this is a LS7 slave in order to work with my CTSV T56... It was a pain trying to figure which one I needed, I had to make custom fittings for the lines to work, and had to drill another hole in the bell housing haha. But I think it will now work.
Also put the ACT clutch on and the flywheel. And boom motor in the car... hopefully for the last time this season. Looks tiny...

Looks good man, Ohio represent. I must have missed it but what city you from?
I think you said your motor is a 5.3 so I'm guessing it's an lq4 or 9? Lastly what solvent did you use to remove the sound deadening glue shit? I like toluene but I get high as shit after working with it for like 30mins or so... |

Yeah my engine is actually an L33. So high output 5.3 aluminum block with 799 heads (poor mans LS6 heads).
I just used lacquer thinner to remove the sound deadening residue.
