Awesome lookin' car!
I'm liking that side-exit exhaust.. does it dump on both sides?
Also.. what's with ur wheels? It looks like the clearcoat has been taken off.. are u restoring them?
-LJ
Edit: I see it does dump on both sides, so withdraw that question..

check it out
um yes,, i have been trying to restore the wheels but had to put it on the road due to lack of transportation 
. but hopefully over winter i'll be able to get the wheels off and restore them.....(i actually had to paint them) after the clearcoat was off i know was maybe a bad idea but looks like i'll have to use some more stripper over the winter....and yes that is a dual exhaust coming out of both sides before the wheel those are borla tips the muffs are 40 series street flowmasters.....i have a pic to show u how it lays out but i have'nt gotten some good pics off the engine bay or underbody of the car yet 
... but once i get it back from the shop i'll take some more and post em up.....anyways this is how the exhaust is routed....

nice car and nice set up! take that pic over to the exhaust board.. i sure they will eat that right up. anyway,nice pain job! just wish they sprayed the headlight buckets black... all red makes it look like an RS. Also, not flamming, but why did you put in a news 305?... just nit pickin i guess, sorry... but thoes side exits are sweet... makes me rethink what i wana do for exhaust... and do you have LT headers? looks very nice, and looks like you still have some ground clearance... good job...

re on the who
Well the 305 was a motor that my father my father got cheap at his shop only $400 for the block....since mine blew up......The Headlight pockets will be painted black my shop where i have it now put a large chip in paint between the headlights so I'll paint them onyx black when i get back....The Exhaust is very loud, Especially when i get on it.....or when i'm jus cruisin around in 3rd....but i wish i did get spiral muffs, cuz the 40 series can hit on certain bumps......again i wish i could get better pics......

Looks real nice! The paint looks great, the exhaust looks AWESOME. 
One comment: In pic 8 it looks like there's a big gap between the bumper and the rear quarter panel. Could the body shop do nothing about that?

they probably left the bumper lose and forgot to tighten it back up. thats what happened to my brothers 91z28 after he got it painted the shop didnt tighten any of the bolts holdingthe nose on and there was about a 1/4'' gap. so my brother had to tighten them up and it went away.

oh yea for the bumper I just have to find some of those nuts that screw on the outside....somehow when i did the painting i lost the nuts....that's why there's such a big gap....it's like a 1/4 inch

....potholes:)
The Only time I've hit something was at school because they have big speed bump dips for people to slow down i found out the hard way on day.....But usually I'm pretty good on the potholes....I have noticed on certain really busy rarely paved roads when the pavement is pushed out like 2 dips in the road when sometimes trying to pull out where these dips are i have to be careful but....i will maybe change the exahust to chambered or spiral flow muffs instead of the 40 series that's the only reason i hit in those instances
