Car is pretty much finished, pics inside

I have been workin on this car on and off for about a year and a half ever since I got into a small accident it was an 86 sport coupe but now it has 85 IROC ground effects/front/rear bumpers, 92 Z28 spoiler and a dayton turbo hood and was recently repainted.

Looks real nice. What all was involved in switching over to serpintine belts and pulleys? Keep up the good work.

Looking good!! The wheels/tires really arent my cup of tea, but other than that I say super-sweet!!! And I like the hood!

So what kinda times is it pulling?? You dont list it in your sig. Just curious.

Joe.

The wheels and tires arent mine, I borrowed them from a friend because I though I was going to the track this weekend but all the classes had to have mufflers ( I dont have any exhaust yet because I cant find anyone that will do it and I want to get duals) It should be high 11's if I can get a good 60 ft. (It ran 13.4 on my old motor, it was pretty much a ZZ4 crate engine)

Looks good, the wheels look nice. I'm not that crazy about the hood though.

I have never been a fan of those hoods, but with what you have done to that car, you have made that hood look right at home. Great job.

Ha Ha... Ya I have the TCI 3600 RPM stall with antibalooning nitrous plates and It's a beast on the streets. I love it... Incredible power and lots of fun to drive. I can hardly resist launching it at every light and flat road!!

That is killer man.

Two questions, what size are your rear tires.

And, how did you make the engine bay look so clean?
-Where are all those gross wires and tubes
-Is it smog legal?

A/C is deleted, Washer fluid tank deleted, PCM is deleted along with the wireing harness coming from it, AC delete box added. No the car is not smog legal. The rear tires are 275/60/15 and I am not sure of the fronts but they are 4 inch drag skinnies. I am not sure on the backspacing either but I think it might be like stock (they are not my wheels or tires)
