Fantastic build! Just not sure why you start with one with such low mileage. I guess if money was no object, I would probably do the same..

IMO, that's the only way to go, no restoration to deal with, just the build

Wow.. awesome car..

Sad to hear there’s salvage motors from 2015 Z/28s.. They made less than 3000 between 14 and 15.. And with the price tag you’d think they’d be able to keep them on the road or in collections.

It happens a lot. Helped build a 4000 mile Buick Gn into what was in the end a twin turbo LSA/4l80e everything modified everything front to back/ in and out and still had it repainted.
