Did you have it painted silver? that makes me sad. your car was perfect before. I wanted a white or a black trans am/formula. Ended up with a blown motor black one.

Still looks good though, I almost got a lunati cam myself

No the car was not painted silver, if you look at the picture you'll see that car is silver with C6 wheels. My car is white with TT2 wheels, it's in the background...

The silver car is my bosses 30k mile solid roller 383 car. We're putting it back together after sitting for almost 2 years...should be a beast.

Come on up man. Once it's back on the road I have a feeling I'm going to be spending a LOT of money on gas...

Motor's done, engine bay is done. Motor goes in ASAP. I'm getting anxious.

Looking good man. What type of plug wires did you use? How did you route them behind the P/S pump? Damn LT1's!
