1984 Z28 Restoring

Currently restoring my 1984 Z28. Theres no rust anywhere on this car. Its from Florida. Black with T-Tops. Giving the engine alot of torque and converting to manual. Ill take pictures tomorrow and post them on what I've done so far. It's stock 305, not H.O., with auto, and T-Tops. I plan to repaint it, convert to manual, give the engine a good needed rebuild and toss a posi in the back. Ill keep you all informed with status and questions if i need them.

Aww I have some great pictures but they are too big for the limit. Ill have to fix that tomorrow or something. These are my plans for the engine though:

Its a nice little start that will give me some great torque that I want. So basically when some ***** import kid comes up to me in school and tells me his car is better, I will burn out so hard that the smoke will stall his car and I will then say " Who's got the bigger ballz now woman!! ". Thats why i bought a camaro and not a honda!!!!

Personally I have been there before, and in a simple phrase, "Actions speak louder than words." I would not boast about it as much as show them what its got, safely of course... Some imports are respectable, and should not be taken as a joke... But if you beat them then you can boast... do before you speak...

Just some wisdom from someone who has been there...

Don't get me wrong, I do think there are some imports that deserve a good show off. But! due to the current trend its hard to find one of those thats a true high tuned import, im just sick and tired of seeing these civics flying down the highway with these giant spoilers that really do nothing. Who needs downforce in the back on a front wheel drive car anyways? I mean the roof and the spoiler are level with each other.
