Hello everyone, I've been lurking around this forum the past few months and finally decided to join. Might as well post up my current ride/project i am tinkering with..
Ive always loved muscle cars since i was a kid, growing up with my father having big block corvettes, ive always been a chevy freak. Late last year i started saving up for a muscle car and ended up buying this, its a 1978 280z, 5.3 LS swapped in, Borg Warner s366, Powerglide 2 speed trans, 10 bolt rear end, etc etc it puts down 600+ to the wheels. car only weights 2400 lbs.. its currently set up for 1/4 mile, but i am more of a street guy lol probably will not ever even take it to the track unless its for fun, i just enjoy driving bad ass muscle cars. anywho, heres some pics of her when i bought it, and how it sits now, been going through some tough times with a injury i had that has put me out of work but as i get back into working here soon i will have alot more updates for you guys.
