Re: my official 68 shortstep ls1 thread (lots of pics)

You are so much further along with your pair of 68's then I am with my pair of 67's. My dream is to finish my 67 C10 and 67RS and have them side by side in the garage....but alas...too many projects, not enough time or money

Keep up the great progress! I enjoy reading your updates. Billet radio bezel looks great, btw
