Ya my dad doesn't know about it and I'm keeping it that way til I get both this and the 66 Mustang done in private. Just wondering does anyone have advice for me on my build for the Z28 I hear it's a good body from the guy, but no pics yet, 200 is the price, and I'm paying out, just want to know what to expect.

Won't know wat to tell you without pic's. does it need much metal work? body work? Does it have a motor or tranny?

Nothin right now, but since I havn't taken full ownership on it yet I'll send em as soon as I get good pics or buy it.

But it'd be full work, I'm setting down 44-50 thousand to do it, The Navy makes things pretty easy if that's the way you go with it, I'm working on becoming an officer that is, so I have some time to do things, and money to do it with.

But I was thinkin a old body with a Cowl Hood, white paint, black\silver screaming skulls on the sides, and a Cross on the hood, with a LS-2 with Kenne Bell kit on it.

I order a ton of parts from JEGS, also ecklers camaro and americanrestorationparts.com
Put a ton of the chevy bowtie GM parts, alternator, fan, bolts, electric water pump, and it's not too bad. I would go with a small block 350 or 400 if you wanted a Street/strip... if a drag or something get a big block... Have plenty of ideas if interested.
