Yeah I got the interior finished, the engine bay cleaned up, and I just mounted the L88 hood this morning. I still have lots to do but I intend to drive it the rest of the summer and most of fall.

I think I'll keep her like this until next fall, when I'll swap in the LT1 roller 405 and TH200R4, and spray some new black paint.

Thanks so much. I'm more of a cruiser than a track or racing guy. The pipes are loud for sure and I'm sure I'll suffer some later in life for it.
