Just took delivery today in the pre-hurricane Milton rain in SE Florida.
Guess I should call the car Uncle Miltie !!??!?!
Will be LS3, T56, IRS.

Cheers !!!

Awesome!

I have the same LS3/T56/IRS build going - started end of May.

Have fun!

Stay safe

Got suspension and brakes mounted.
Aluminum panels all drilled.
Going with Levy's 14" brakes front & rear. With electric e-brake. These brakes are huge. I had FFR's Wilwood brakes on my 35 Truck and was never totally happy with them, had to use a real aggressive pad to get decent stops.
Also will be using Levy's QA1 shocks.
One thing that kept me from building this kit in the past was the windows, or lack of. So I'm going with FormaCars electric window kit.
And also FormaCars HVAC system. Hopefully that keeps it cool in south Florida.

You're making quick work, nice job.

That HVAC system is very interesting. Didn't know Formacars sold that.

Do you mind letting us know what it cost? Feel free to ignore that question if you want to keep $ out of your thread

I looked at that kit a couple of weeks ago before I placed my final order. It's nice but fairly spendy at $3.5K, probably $4K when all is said and done. Looks very well engineered and has lots of benefits like air blending, etc.

Sounds like a great build, looking forward to following along.

HVAC $3500, Windows $3700. FormaCars is a vendor on here, all on their website. Was good working with them so far. https://www.formacars.com/products/
