Apparently someone on ebay likes it enough to steal your pics and use it in their headlight auction. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1998-...3A1|240%3A1318

I just read though all 21 pages of this thread and am amazed at your workmanship.

Although it's not my style (for that kind of car) i love to see good talent.
Don't listen to anyone bad-mouthing you on here. The car looks great and you sir, are an artist.

Very cool man. It looks like your going for a "stockish" exterior and a very custom interior. Are you going to be installing new style gauges for a modern look or some vintage pieces?

I've always wanted to have a big tach right in the center of the dash and then a small digital speedo off to the side. That way it disappears when the engine is off. Makes for a macho look. Having a big speedo makes you look wimpy.

How do you plan to finish it? Leather/vinyl, cloth or paint?

Dude, they use airbags on Semis to haul heavy loads. Pretty sure it can handle power of a V8. Check out any Hot Rod mag and there's always some high powered V8 pro-touring vehicle in there on airbags.

there was a Black LT1 body TA on here a few years ago, that had a narrowed rear and was mini-tubbed. It had a 2" or maybe slightly lower drop, and some 17's, looked completely awesome. Probably the best lookin Fbody ever on this site
Stavman? was a 94 No?
