The Cause of My Addiction

[MOTION1]

I thought you guys might enjoy seeing the other big project I have working right now.

This is the car, an all original '71 Z28, that I bought with paper route money when I was 14 years old. Of course I thrashed the ---- out of it for several years, did some really stupid things (a man named Jack had his hand in this), and ended up in jail a number of times as a result of it.

But I still hung on to the car for 26 years.....

When we got to looking the car over, it was evident that the chassis was not worth restoring. So I decided to build my own "supercar" the way I thought one should be built.

I am going to post just a few pictures to see if you guys can tell me what I am building.

[Jeff H]

What's that gonna have, turbo or supercharger? It looks like an intercooler where the battery goes. Looks like a fun car! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Man, you nailed the stance...good work! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[MOTION1]

I thought I would repost a few of these pictures with a little better contrast.

I am REAL proud of the work that Tim and Rooman have done so far and with any luck, I can be driving by summer.

Dan cool car...can I have the shop its in???? I see many cool tools I need.. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

[JoeG]

Nice kind of Addiction http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif-----I noticed the brake or clutch(hydraulic)? booster/master cyl. in the cockpit--.....

[smooth]

Master/booster in dash. Resivoirs are in the cowl panel. Also a/c inside dash. It's very crowded in there. All the electrical is in the trunk, fuse box,relays,battery,stereo stuff. The plan is to have it at scr8. The only thing under the hood that will be seen is engine. TIM

[MOTION1]

Thought I would post some progress pictures. Car has been blasted and primed. Final fit and filling next. Hopefully will be finished ~June.
