Simply fantastic from one end to the other. I dig the dash & power windows and using GM factory parts from other cars and making it look factoryish. Outstanding job and one of my favorite Gs here. I will check your link for motor pics etc. Have you considered a rear spoiler? I think it would finish the looks of this car out. Any motor mods? Any 1/4 miles passes or mileage numbers? Once again great job. Tastefully done. You need to put pics in your photo album.
 
That looks amazing!!!

I do have a spoiler and additional trunk that was in the original plan but decided not to mess with it. May do that later but things are really hectic at my shop now so dont know when I will find time to work on any of my own.

No engine mods other than the truck intake and a tune. The car made 316/327 at the wheels on a very stingy dyno so it actually rolls out very well. As you can see in my sig, I have other vehicles that are fast and loud and see lots of track time, this car just doesn't excite me to do that with it for some reason. I even have a hard time wondering why. I have an LS6 cam and LS6 243 heads for it but I dont think I will put them on there because it runs so well for me now. I really do thrash on this thing every time it is out though.....lol I have a little issue with it going rich on wot shifts and it falling down bad, really dont know what is causing it!


Photo Album????
 
Thanks for all the kind words fellas......it really makes me feel good to hear that stuff because of all the time spent on this thing. All of my vehicles have been major projects but this one really kept me interested the entire time I was building it. When the keyless entry and alarm started working, I was like a kid in a candy store gleaming with excitment. Hit the lock button on the remote and "beep beep" with the red light flashing in the dash.....manit was cool.....open the door and the horn started beeping and lights flashing. It is amazing how much this thing feels like you are driving a new car. Electric fans, air conditioning and a super quiet ride just make this thing an outstanding hotrod.

I would still like to get a little better stance out of the car and some bigger brakes for the front. I would like to get 98-02 f body brakes on the front. Only for looks, the thing stops awesome now. Thanks again for the compliments

I will have some track times this summer, I need to weld my axle tubes in the 12 bolt, I actually twisted them on the street with four of us in it racing a cobra.....lol I went from negative pinion angle to drastic positive!
