Thanks guys for all the kind words. I have had this car for 12 years and it has seen many different combinations. Had a mild small block in it for a while, then went solid roller stroker motor, and now the ls1 with the 6 speed. This by far the most fun. I need to do so cleanup under the hood, getting wiring in order, smooth the firewall, etc. The motor needs to come back out, but have been having more fun driving it, so that might wait a while, lol. I hope to see you guys next sunday. Josh

Wow, that is an amazing car. Do you have updated suspension, brakes, etc? I always wanted an old car with all new stuff so that I could drive it when ever, and wherever I wanted comfortably. One day...

Thanks, I am working on updating everything. I have disc brakes for the rear that I need to put on. Suspension is stock right now, but would like to change control arms, possibly air bag it. It handles pretty good with the 17's on it.

Ac is necessity. The car has a hotrod air setup in it. I have daily driven it some. It gets right around 20mpg driving it somewhat hard. I am sure I could get more if I babied it.

Stock tubs. Outer lip is cut and seat belt pocket is massaged. Its very tight, but it works.

Car looks great, thanks for posting newer pics of it. I've been itching to build a 2nd gen Camaro or Bird lately.

No problem man. Pull the trigger. A second gen bird would be awesome, I am kinda partial to the Camaros though.
