Feels good to roll again

The car has been sitting forever after the wheels and interior was stolen. Tried to put the original 14" rally wheels on it but those tires were dry rotted so bad the side wall blew off it in the driveway after sitting for so long. I came across a local guy on craigslist and picked up some z28 wheels with the center caps for $80. I hit a couple used tire places and got a set of 255/60R15s for the back and some 235/60R15s for the front. Just something to get it out and run around before winter hits and a few nice nights are left.

Somebody stole your interior? Wonder why didn't they just take the whole car. I'm not a fan of holes in the hood, but that doesn't look too bad. I'm sure the police take notice. Enjoy, I know I sure was happy when I got my car back on the road a few years ago.

Meant to say destroyed my interior really. I had fiber glassed an entire new dash that molded up with custom door panels and then it moved on down to the back where I had a wall with six 12s behind the seats. In the dash was a 10" touch screen mobile computer system. They basically broke and pried everything out of if and destroyed all my countless hours of work. In all they got my all gold spiral spoke 17x9 Dayton wheels, Gold plated intake (which they pried right off the top of my custom anodized Holley 390), ripped my gold door handles off, 10" touch screen monitor, Xenarc mobile computer, six 12 inch DB Drive Platinum 12s, Three sets of DB Drive Platinum 6-1/2 components, three DB Drive Platinum 2000 watt amps and two DB Drive Platinum four channel amps.

I came outside to find the car sitting on my rotors, window shattered, doors open and sh*t everywhere. They had to have a crew working on it. They reached up through the engine compartment and cut my battery cable since there's a pretty good gap there to get your arm up in there.
