My 1979 Z Build... Project DarkKnight
So as some of you know on Aug 19th i got hit in my 2000 SS, deamed totalled.
So i decided this time i would go for something new, or old rather
I picked up a 79 Z with a fresh 383 Stroker and 4 speed trans, stole it at $3200
And so the legend begins, and the creation of a monster is underway.
She came home Sept 6th, heres the day =]

Yesterday was the start of work. Im on a tight budget right now because of buying this and putting money down to get a nice truck. So free is the way we will have to go for now. Figured id start buy tearing out the interior and see what work im in for as far as the floorboards and body condition. heres what i found:
Pass Side, The bad, that will have to be cut out and replaced
The Overview, not bad for a Mi car
The Good, Both sides are this clean towards the front of the seats and under the rear seats
The great, this is behind the back rest for rear seats, this and the trunk are very clean
