Would be nice to see some pictures of the engine compartment. Any other specs on the car like frame, suspension and drivetrain mods? Looks like a sleeper, kind of like the look I was going for.

Nice build but as I have said before on this car the tune on it is terrible. Those numbers are horrible for a pulley change and a free breathing ZR1 motor. Watch the dyno pull on it. There is black smoke coming from it. Could be a real screamer with the right tune on it.

It's pretty badass, but I would have kept the stock hood to keep the beast looking asleep. Could definitely use a better tune though. And please please please change the wheels.

I will second that motion, I would love to see what went in to the entire project from the ground up.

No I can look at my 71 coupe and dream.....
