Default Back in the LS1 game...LOL



Whats wrong with this picture This was a mercy build and what happens when I get bored because my 73 is at the resto shop far too long and I realize my TBSS gets crappy gas mileage probably don't want to make it worse with a heads and cam.

I have a 98 front clip being delivered tomorrow morning in the same color. Oh well it should be a fun ride!

LOL OK, I can handle that. Sideways not so much it might be a little while before I do that. The 73 is quick, I don't think its as fast as my 454 99 SS was but I do think when dialed in it would take my old Cobra and Z06 pretty easily...

Satin Black would look really cool. But I am biased. Are you going to wrap it yourself?

Yeah I'm thinking about it. I've wrapped alot of interior stuff and think I can handle most areas...The bumpers and jams I'm a little worried about. I'm kind of a perfectionist so I think I'm going to have to learn to live with it not being perfect.. Did you paint or wrap yours?
