Thanks Man..
Yes, I found the best Builder around to help me.. This Car has been in my Family for almost 30 years and I just had to upgrade it..I bought it in 1983. Built the engine and painted it in 1985.
It is a Number's matching True Van Nuys,Ca, Z/28.. Factory Corvette LT-1, and Close ratio M-21. Engine and transmission has 20K miles on it.
I did not want to do a factory Restoration..Boring...
The value is still the same...But the fun factor is through the roof..Next is Interior, and then more Power someday. With all the new cars, I need to step up my game. 420HP is not enough anymore, haha..
Rather than sell it and the 350Z and buy some Exotic Car, I thought that redoing it the right way and buying the 370Z was the way to go..
The 370Z will stay stock because it is the Wife's car..Otherwise, I would go crazy on it too.. Someday I will put Pilot SS Tires, and maybe an Oil Cooler, and when it needs rotors and brakes, I will upgrade then, but only when it needs parts. My wife won't let me spend more money until something is worn out...
This other picture is from 1985 with the Goodyear Gatorback 15" "Truck" Tires.. Sitting way too high..But it was 1985... But the rims look so tiny..
Now it has the modern look.
