My 71 Z/28
 
I just joined and wanted to say Merry Christmas, and to a Happy, Healthy 2012 to all.:cheers:

My 1971 Z/28 that I have had for 28 years is getting some work done.:woot:

It is in Great hands over at East Bay Muscle Cars..

Steve is great at what he does, and I am fortunate to be able to take my car to his shop.

It is turning out absolutely Wicked.... Not Wicked like some of you guys, but wicked enough for me....For now anyways...

I knew if I kept my Car long enough, that I would get to make these changes.

Doing it at a Killer Shop makes it all the more Sweet..

I went for a test drive with Steve...Things are turning out great.. He does great work, and does it on time...

Some Rear end work is being done, and then it is home to detail and upload photos.

Update is that I saw the rear end being rebuilt yesterday. All new parts.

Steve over at East Bay Muscle Cars, is really doing great work on my car, and the sum of all the new parts, and his expertise to set it all up, is going to be ,oh my, .....Lots of FUN....:woot:

Should be doing the last tests drives before taking it home soon..
