When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Yeah i want to paint it Flame Orange which is a pastel reddy orange colour from the V2 monaro. I still haven't decided whether to put the chrome strips on the sides or not. Im leaning towards leaving them off.
You reckon you guys cant wait to see it finished. Ive been dreaming of that day for 30 years god damn.

I picked up my new rockercovers the other day. Machined from billet aluminium they are a two piece unit where the coil packs live under the top cover. They should give the LS a more retro small block look.I love the look of them. Cant wait to fit them up.

Also going to swap the stockwater pump with this Edelbrock unit. The edelbrock pump will hopefully not stick out so far, by about an inch, and allow me to move the donk a bit further forward.
