Hello everyone. Some of you may already know me from other boards. I'm going to be spending more time here in the future as I'm starting a new build. I've kinda lurked in the past with my last car a 1985 Z28 drag car that I recently sold. I just picked up a solid 92 RS hard top. Right now the car has a V6 which will be swapped out for a 1st gen SBC or LSX combo and possibly a 6 speed manual. Mods in mind include SS style or cowl hood, 18" wheels, 18x7front and 18x11 rears new paint, 12 bolt rear axle, Corvette Big brake upgrade front and rear, New leather seat covers, upgraded audio system. I'm thinking of swapping out the dash for a older style in combination with a covans classic's gauge cluster for looks but I haven't decided yet, maybe the newer look will grow on me!! I'll post some pictures in the next few days of my old and new rides after get the new one cleaned up a little. Feel free to post pics of your rides as I am a huge thirdgen fan. I'm always open to new ideas and peoples input as well.

Doug,

Here is some pics Of my old 85 Z28 I just sold. This was taken about 3 years ago.







This is was taken after a complete rebuild of the chassis and body had taken place on the 85.





And last is the 92 I just picked up. This was one of the photo's that was sent to me before I went to look at the car. Hopefully some warmer weather comes soon and I can spend some time washing it and cleaning it up. I started to remove the interior the other day and the car very clean!!

Ya that's a 68 chevelle in the garage but it's not mine! The chevelle belongs to the guy and wife who did the fab work on my 85. Runs 9.50's on the bottle with his wife doing the driving.
