one again thank you all for the positive comments 
at the moment the interior isnt all back in, the roof capsule and front /rear pillars are getting a retrim in black suede to match the rest of interior. once it all goes back in, the cabin will vurtually look standard 
almost.
Rotr8 and bhop your absolutelly right, although i have actuall kept a record of cost i generally keep it to myself as the amount is discusting, but over a length of time its not so bad...........kind of.

^^^Agreed, at a certain point last year I stopped counting the amount of money and hours that were in my car, but I have a folder two and half inches thick of all the reciepts, but over the five plus yrs that Ive been building it up its really become a moot point and not really important anymore. Great build plus one for wanting to see what your coolr setup is in a more front angled pic!!!

Thats the way I feel since I bought my camaro 6 months ago. at first I kept track of the parts and how much they cost but now everything just kinda blurs together because I dont want to think about how much this project is going to cost me or already has

Australian delivered models only came with one oil cooler, once the car is running depending on temps, i will see if i need to upgrade the standard oil cooler to match the other side.

Uncontrollable drifter
Hey Grump8, can I ask what you did with the oil pan sitting too low? I've done the same thing(haven't finished yet-do to work and some other things) but I didn't push the engine foward at all and I'm still using stock engine mounts.
Amazing build, subscribing to see the finale.
awsome
