Which one should I work on? Ok guys I cant figure out what one of my cars to work on. Ive started working on my 77 Chevy SWB this last month. Ive got a 2001 Z28 well my thing is I dont know which one to put my money into. Ive got my motor for my LS swap for the SWB I got a 5.3 , vic jr. intake, msd box, a cam and headers for the truck and im getting the body work done right now. My camaro is pretty much stock besides an SLP lid. I just got my taxes back and Ive gotten to the point as to which one should I work on. The truck tuckin some torq thursts with a cammed 5.3 sounds sick right now, but so does my NBM Z28. Ive got my paint for the truck already and the person lined up to paint it. My question is if you had your choice which one would you choose????? help me decide im stuck!!!!

i'm guessin the truck isn't driveable so thats where i would put the money, get it to where you can drive and enjoy the thing. nothing sucks more than having a toy you can't play with. its like marrying a **** star just to watch, makes no sense.

Well how much do you owe on the car? If it was me I'd pay off the car with your taxes. Every check after that would let you buy things for the car or truck
. Lots of lay offs right now, Hope it doesn't happen but what if you lose that job and you have no way to pay for your car
. It would suck to get your car repossessed after all the mods you put in it. That's why CASH is the best way. Save for a year or two and buy cash. No payments no hassle. FREE to do whatever you want to your car. Just my opinion. Have fun and I hope you have friends to help with the swap. Remember don't bite the hands that feeds you. Or the FRIENDS that help you out. Oh and your user name is droppedls1z. How about some pics of that dropped ride
. I would love to see it. Not a big fan of NBM cars, I'm a pewter guy. But either way let's see it.

truck. finish what you started cuz usually when you get side tracked it keeps getting put on the back burner. finish it so you can drive it while the car is down for mods. my $.02 FWIW
