Thanks! I didn't mean that in a bragging way, and believe me, I make sure he understands how "privileged" he will be to have something like this. As long as he keeps his grades up and stays out of trouble, we're good, . I know you'll eventually build yourself a show quality ride, but for now, you are doing it the right way, .

Emilio - they are Dakota Digital VHX gauges. I got a good deal on them from boardmember, ProPerformance.

I'm lucky, I've got a Top-Notch son!

Small updates: Sold the LS1/T56 setup to Curt Hill of Hill's Rod & Customs (thanks Curt!). He's going to build a sweet little 67 with the drivetrain setup. I also picked up a set of his front wheel tubs which will go well with the Porterbuilt front setup. I'm thinking about doing a flip hood instead of cutting the firewall and adding hinges. Thoughts?

I'm waiting on a few parts, once they arrive I plan on mocking up the engine/transmission, finishing up some welding, and then, hopefully sand blast and paint the frame over the holidays.......
