Default 82 Z28 build. Opinions? (pics!!)

Im finally getting around to posting the progress on this build. Long story short: 82 z28 bought it for 1k and drove it home with the stock 305. First was a 5.3 build with 2 small turbos, nexd that to a 1400hp 408 twin gt4082 build, nexd that now the final verdic is a 402ci iron block with l92 heads and a 8-71 roots from bds.
The goal is 900 rwhp street legal car that stands out.
Ive have had to re-enginer this car from floorpan to ttop, bumper to bumper (quite literally). Full frame, 16pt cage, all custom sheetmetal int, firewall moved back 10", seats moved back 8", full tubs (15" wide tires), engine dropped 2" and moved back 8", 4" body drop, and so much more. Its taken 2 years to get where im at wreching around college and work scedules...
let me know what you think and feel free to ask questions or give suggestions!

Was that a bone stock Z with matching number drivetrain before you started moding it?

yes it was . The trans was not the #s matching trans but the block matched the body and it came back as a Z code. (I assumed it was a z because the int and ext badging but i check it after i bought it anyway.). I actually ended up trading the turn-key 305 and th350 for a 350 virgin block, th400 and 200 cash. Not a bad deal if you ask me!
