Hows about "Iceman, Inc."? Maybe w/a mural of a big-A polar bear.

Or, "Iceman's Hot Rods, Unlimited".

Got lotsa room to work with, in any event!

Progress? What's that? Seriously, my car has been sidelined forever. I am now back to working on it. As stated earlier, I sold off all of my Turbo Buick stuff and ended up with two LSx motors (one true aluminum 5.7 LS1 from a Camaro and one iron block 5.3 from a Silverado. My plan is to run all the truck externals including the drive-by-wire throttle body and truck intake on the aluminum motor creating essentially an aluminum 5.7 truck motor. I've also bought a Z06 cam for it. I've also collected up a very low mileage truck harness to use and the DBW throttle pedal.

Because my work space is so limited at home, last weekend we took the body off the chassis and stored it in a friends LARGE X HUGE shop (I'm so jealous). We then took the rolling chassis back to my house so I could work on it. I'll update as I progress....
