Engine has been buttoned up; transmission has the warmonger fix, and the clutch job was finished. New control arms have been installed as have the shifter cables. CEL eliminators have been installed due to the lack of precats; I found that welding a lower attachment point from a Camaro Bilstein fit exactly in the spot on the rear manifold that was drilled out to gut that cat. Aluminum colored exhaust paint (Duplicolor 1000�ºF) that was cured in the oven seemed to do the trick quite nicely covering the weld and it looks almost factory.

Next step, dropping her in and turning the key.

Wow. Congrats.

Tell me more about this bilstein thingy?? I'm not quite following it.
