very nice car looks like a lot of fun.
Awesome job, the finishing touch would be for yours to be a feature in the last issue of GMHTP.
Congrats! Well deserved! Lots of great cars this month.
Very nice

Justin,
I was just wondering if you always drive with two different wheels on the right than the left...
Nice car BTW...
I would race you, but I am sure I would lose.

thanks guys! hats off to pcm of nc for their clean ls swap, and also ttop350 for the nominationfor cotm!
currently in Pigeon Forge, TN for "Pontiacs in Pigeon Forge". im lumped into the modified class which spans 67-02 firebirds so there is a ton of competition. im hoping to maybe win something
sad truth is if you leavd your car stock you have a much better chance of winning because almkst nobody leavez their f bodies stock anymore!
