My swap is "done"
Well...They're never "done". But it's mobile and off to the body shop. I thought I had posted a thread about in here but I guess not.
Link to vid...
As you can see the bodywork hadn't been done yet. I just got the adapters for temp sender/oil pressure and will be popping those in while it's in the shop. (the place doing the work is right below my dealership).
I got some odd looks while I was filling it up at the gas station...

Re: My swap is "done"
I kind of like the charcoal color...
After some major issues getting the LS7 clutch set up with my 5.3 a tick master cylinder and slave shim I think I'm good to go. Car will get a cam by the end of the year and I've already started piecing together parts for a turbo build.
Couldn't have done it without the information shared on this board as well as LS1tech and of course, alldatapro.com.

Re: My swap is "done"
I'm waiting on some from bumper brackets from GM because I accidentally threw away my bumper-to-fender brackets as well as bumper-to-tooltray bracket. So hopefully by mid-end of next week. I just know I better be driving it by next weekend!

No doubt!! 
Congrats man, that's gotta be a good feeling!
And I'm going to make a special point of seeing that beast the next time I'm in WA!
