Default New owner of a hugger orange Z

Well was gunna change my 02 black TA over to a 6 speed and then found a killer deal on a beautiful 6 speed 99 hugger orange Z28 with white racing stripes. Had to grab it for the price had no engine or trans. I installed a stock LS1 into my TA and installed my 427 into the Z and got a viper spec T56 today with a Z textralia and z06 slave and got it all put together over the last 2 days. So goodbye to the old I got to dust it every 10 seconds to keep it clean black TA and hello to a beautiful hugger orange 6 speed Z!

Nice car, I have always wondered how those stripes would look on my car and could never find pic on a hugger Z with them. I think black stripes would look meaner now that I see it but anyway sick ride!!
