Trans-Am inspired 68 Z28
 

Here's a new project we are working on-

It started as an overpriced- underrepresented ebay find- It's supposed to be a real 68 Z but the 302 is out of another Z and the protecto-plate is long gone...so instead of a 100 point restoration, we are doing the next best thing- cutting it up:_paranoid

The build is based around the idea that a guy walks into a Chevy dealership in '68 to buy a Z28 to go weekend racing. He loves to see the Trans-Am racing heros flogging thier cars but needs to keep his on the street for daily transportation- with a twist- he has acess to 2010 technology! :D

Everything Speedtech offers for a first gen will be installed. Both front and rear suspension systems, headers, body mounts, etc. Jason Rushforth will supply the wheels and rendering, We are installing DSE deep-tubs. Engine and trans will be an LS2 and T-56

enjoy:thumbsup:

ebay buyers beware...lots of stuff was hidden, when we got the car back from media we ended up needing a whole new front clip, deck lid, pass door and both quarters
