there really is no distinguishable mods, the guy I got the car from put a cam in it. He was from Dittmer. I think he told me he got it from St. Charles or something.

LOL wow, it does have all those but now it has chrome Zr1s on it. What a small world. I definitaly have big plans for the car, I am going to put a stall in it, and probably spray it. I have to fix the head gasket first. I just hope that is all that is wrong with it. What a small world, LOL.
