1985 Z28 Progress

I bought this car about 4 years ago on Ebay. The car was sitting for 10 years outside when I bought it. It did not run and a family of mice made a meal out of the engine wiring harness. I drug it from VA to St Louis for my next toy. Things kept coming up and it sat for another 3.5 years. I finally purchased a 1994 Z28 as a donor car a few months ago and the swap began. It is running and driving pretty good and I just picked it up from the body shop Friday night. Here are a few pics of it's journey.

Re: 1985 Z28 Progress

Thanks.
As of right now it is a stock 94 LT1 and 4L60e swap. I ran a set of Headman LTs and TDs dumped at the rear axle and a CAI. I swapped the fourth gen rear and am running the 17x9.5 ZR1s with Nitto DRs in back. I went back to stock with the paint but I might remove the current stripes and go with a smaller black/silver set. Like the IROC lower stripes The interior still needs some attention but that will come a little later. As of now I am enjoying getting to drive the car around. May 30th I will be in K.C. Mo for the LTx Shootout. Going to try to bring home a win in the bracket class.

Enjoying the car is everything.
