I thought you'd be done by now. Looks good though.

Thanks guys.

The Wheels took a while to be made, and we are just waiting on headers and the Ron davis radiator and the New Hotchkis Bars.
I was going to use some New Herb Adams Bars that I had since 1985, but we are going with the new ones to match everything else. But the front suspension should be done this week and the exhaust will get done after the headers.
Also mounting tires in the next few days to start on the Stance and the setup..
Some of the parts I will need to go to a Road course to test fully, but i am going out to represent the second Gen car with the original Driveline, and alot of new technology gripping and braking..
It should just be crazy.
The LT-1 is super strong and it is just getting a billet distributor,the new msd rev control box and coil, and the new K,and N, and new exhaust. That should be enough.

Thanks....Would you believe that the paint is from 1985 ?? The guy was great.

He took forever and had addiction problems, but a Car painter he sure was......

The rest of the stuff i am doing is madness...But, it is already a done deal.
