My car is still having the suspension work done. They are getting some work done but not enough to be worthy of pictures yet. I will update the thread when things are more interesting.

I have decided to step up the power levels with the car. I have picked up a set of the new AFR Mongoose LS3 heads, a Fast 102 intake and Yella Terra roller rockers. From what I have seen on other builds this should be right at 600 hp. Plenty to scoot me around.  I am also adding an Improved Racing oil pan baffle setup. From what I have read oil starvation at high speed and high G's kill LS engines. The baffle and Accusump should really help with this.I have also started working with Chris over at The Roadster Shop with some renderings. I want to get a better view of colors, mirror options and smaller details. He is pretty close the finishing up the front rendering and will also do a 3/4 view of the rear. It is looking pretty good I think. I will post more pictures when he has them available for me. This was a sneak peek!

I met a guy that does design work at The Roadster Shop and he is helping me with some final decisions. He took the photos of my car and did a fantastic rendering of the end result. This will allow me to change the color or details before it is finalized. It will look killer when done!

I want to get some input on my mirror selection though. I have 3 choices I am mulling over right now.
1 is the classic chrome bullet
2 is a 2nd generation Camaro mirror that would be body color
3 is a chrome rectangular one like the original.

What do you think?
