I think its cool to see all these people coming to the boards that we would never even know about. Then they post their car and we are all mesmerized.
Great looking car dude. You have to post more pics.

That thing looks real mean! Love the wheel choice. The only thing I could suggest is to get your hands on a set of clear sidemarkers.

The car looks nice, however I'm not really a fan of all the decals. Also, I'm interested in which wheels you're running front and back.. From the look of the dished rear wheel, that looks like the thirdgen offset 8 inch wide zr1..

thankxfor the commets guys, ive been working on it for a while. I really don't have that many pictures of the way it was before. It use to be a purple haze color orignal and had a 305 tbi with a T5. It has also had a 350 superram and a 383 HSR and now im finishing i up a Modded Ls1.

I have very few digital pics of the way it was before, but I try to find some pics and scan them. Im still not done with the car. It well prolly be out in around two weeks.

Here are a few more pics of the car. I know there all from the same angle but I always seem to take a pic when the car is park inside the porch.





heres one when it was a 383 HSR



This one is before I took the 383 out.




here it is with the ls1 just in


the ls1

The rear end is off a fourth gen and the rear wheels are 17x11's & 17x19.5 in the front. Im getting rid of the decals and leaving only the hockey stripe.

I absolutely love the hockey stripe. The only thing different that I would have done would be to take it back more toward the quarters. Overall love your car.

I love everything about the car, it is pretty cool. It is refreshing to see stuff like that on here. My only beef is why the heck did you take out the 5speed an install an automatic?! with the suspension mods that car has it is certainly not a drag car so it needs a 'stick!!! Thats the only thing I would change.

I was going to say.....ditch the decals and leave the stripe and it would be perfect. I see that is your plan. Looks great! Keep up the good work.

I had a tko and I was having a hard time trying to get it to work with the ls1. I called Mike Fortes but wasnt that much of a help so I decieded to go with a built th350 I had which I don't plan on keeping. Im going to swap in a t56 later on as soon as I have the funds.

i love seeing someone else that's not afraid to always work on their cars, and try different combos! i've pulled the motor out of my car 5 times since i first built it back in december...and i've loved it everytime, i just really enjoy turning wrenches on these cars! my 360 is coming back out due to a cracked block, throwing my spare 305 in it so i can drive it, then the new 383 will go in this fall.

god that car is so sweet. The color/stripes/rims everything...

Now are the zr1s black or like a dark gunmetal grey? Its hard to tell. They really do match perfectly...

Is the car setup to handle or just straight line? Anything done to the interior.

Get some more pictures up in a few weeks if ya can!

How'd you go about obtaining the hockey stripes? Did you just order 4th Gen Hockey Stripes and use them on your car, or did you have a custom vinyl set made for your car? I love that idea, I want to get some to match my stripes!
