My grandparents live in Philly and have a garage just like that. They do all the work on their vehicles as well. It's pretty awesome.
Can't wait to see how this turns out by the way. Keep it up!

[Jabes]

*update* It runs!

finally got the car running after buying another ls engine last night. It turns out that the engine I had bought before needed a full rebuild because the compression was too low.

But today I put the engine and got everything all working, now the fun begins with getting it insured, title transfer and registration yayyy more bills lol

snapped a couple pictures of the car today, I repainted the wheels black and put some newer tires on it
