Default Long time lurker from central illinois

What's up everyone. I have been a member for a long time but just last week picked up my first ls1 f body. I got a pretty good deal on it in Kentucky and drove it home last Saturday.
It's a painfully stock 99 pewter z28 6 speed with only 88,xxx miles. Love it so far, but it does have a few things I need to fix. Nothing I wouldn't expect for a 12 year old car though.




And one with my first car

That is my project that I have yet to start. It was my first car, which has the first engine I rebuilt, and now she waits for a wall to be knocked down in my garage so my son and I can start tearing her apart. Going the pro-touring route with an ls3, t-56, and reworked suspension.
I also, layed the black paint myself, this was all done 15 years ago and time has taken its toll.

Welcome. I was born and raised in Hopedale (not far from Lincoln), but currently live in Pekin. Lot of F-body / LS guys are around here, just gotta keep your eyes open
