after looking at the engine bay, I'm curious. . . .is it a Z28? How many times to you have to have SS to get the picture?

Sorry, some bolts were out getting Z28 electroplated on them. . . . and I DRIVE my car




On a side and less challenging note, nice startup vid. Did mine in my driveway and had same results. Sounds good.

I like the colors and layout of things just one too many decals/stickers/emblems. That is just my opinion and your happy so that is all that matters.
