    Another LS Coupe build thread :)

    Ive had my coupe since Veterans Day, but have just now really started getting in gear and putting things together!

    Here is the plan:
    416 LS3, T-56 Magnum and IRS for the drivetrain. The engine will be managed by a Holley Terminator max, along with the 12" Holley dash. I sourced the 416 short block and had my heads ported/polished by the same company in Toledo.. Im more comfortable with the LS, and making reliable power will be a lot easier and cheaper for me on that platform.





    While I really like Forgestars, I wanted something different. After months of searching, I landed on a set of Weld Racing Solana, the fronts are 18x9.5 +19 and the rears are 18x11 +25. Waiting to decide on spacers until I get the body on, but im anticipating something both front and rear.





    It took me as long to pick seats as it did wheels... I have yet to see anyone using these Braum's, and the more narrow seat back should fit well in the coupes cockpit without issues. Went with the jacquard, because I can't afford the real leather



    My garage isnt much, it's a bit cramped and painfully cold so the work will be slow until spring. Im terrible at documenting anything, but I'll do my best to contribute to the best ability of my attention span!



    Looking forward to the process and getting this project really underway!
