BLACK ICE 91 RS progress thread (updates here)
I am starting this thread to show the progress that happens with my car as I build it. I found it at a lil used car dealership and picked it up for $1200 the day before christmas with a lil over 100,000 miles and it ran good. It was my only car at the time so it was my winter beater but now it is my project. It started out life with a 3.1 V6 but now has a 5.0 TPI out of an 87 Iroc.
here are some of the things I have done to it since I got it...
black deluxe carpeted interior
grant rally wheel
WS6 front and rear sway bars
wonder bar
5.0 TPI motor
17" American Racing Hopsters
Glastec 2.5" cowl hood
aftermarket 91-92 Z28 style spoiler
91 Z28 145 gauge cluster
flowmaster catback
And here are some before pics more to come (sorry about the size)

Re: BLACK ICE 91 RS progress thread (updates here)
Looks great. Coming along nicely I see. One question though...Why didn't you just go for a 350? It wouldn't have cost too much more.

Re: BLACK ICE 91 RS progress thread (updates here)
Yea im not too crazy for the hood pins either but its better to have them than it is to lose my hood. I am trying to find some better looking ones maybe locking?
As far as why I did a 305 instaed of a 350 the reason is cause I had one layin around and its temporary till I can get the money together for an LSX swap

Re: BLACK ICE 91 RS progress thread (updates here)
I will get some of those shots up as it starts looking a lil better lol. Right now my black seats are suffering from a bit of fading (i was storing them by a window 
) so I am saving up for a set of new ones and the engine compartment is a mess with the freshly swapped motor there. I still have to hide wires and do an overall cleaning. But I should have some up in the near future Thanks for the compliments guys
