Looking for some thoughts/insight on my JL8 resto

[RamAirDave]

Are you looking to build something different/cool, or are you basing it strictly financially (resale) ?

The #s, BBS, POP won't change regardless of how it's built, just depends on what you want and your plans for the car when it's done.

Stock would be my choice and you could fund some of the work with the sale of those cool race parts.

Stock. When the time comes to sell it, there will be more interested buyers looking for a factory stock one than a TA style. Glad you are getting it done. When I came to this board a handful of years ago you were in the process of restoring it.

I like RamAirDave's idea too. Those Mini Light wheels would be killer on that car.

Take the path of least resistance ($$) and FINISH the thing the way that gives you the most pride & pleasure.
Enjoy the car
The right way IS your way!
I can see it either method, it seems you have had this project for years and the finished product will be stunning with or without the candy corn on top.
Dig that HUGGER orange

not much help,,,,,I like the bolt on, bolt off easy way out,,

Completely stock. I'll be over in Ewing tommorrow to pick the rest of the parts up!!
Just kidding I say put it in race trim. You can always take the parts back off.

As long as any changes you make aren't irreversible without damaging the car, I say go race trim.

[Steve Shauger]

I am a purist so I generally prefer cars the way they left the factory. In your case you bought those parts because of their racing heritage and appeal. On the assumption you're planning on keeping the car, build it the way you envisioned it, in bada** racing form.


You have spent close to ten years getting this car done...do it your way. I would say if your plan it to have the car judged at the concours level, stock is the way to go.

Willl the car be finished for the Camaro National @ Carlisle this June?
