hey guys and gals. Names Lee iv been on here a while but i dont post up that much. i think i have a few pics of my car on here but they are old. i just wanted to put these new ones up to see what everyone thinks. Maybe take suggestions on what to do in the future. My main dream for this is either a 383 or 355 after i get out of college. right now this is my daily driver.

have to say....gorgeous hoping my rs will look just as good someday!!!

well this was the paint that was on it when i bought it. it was a macco job and in person up close u can tell. it has a 305 in it. so its not the fastest thing in the world but it hops off the line, i put a 4th gen rear in it with 4.10's. not much but like i said dailly driver.

cool hood, where did you get it?

bigred75

i actually made it, and its functional. I took the scoop off of a 2nd gen z and cut out the slit in it. and fiberglassed it onto the hood. with the help of a little body filler it acutally turned out really nice.,

yea the hood looks great, I need to replace mine and really like that idea....btw I wish I had the 305.....unfortunatly I'm runnin the lil 3.1L V6..And I know its not the smartest thing, however I'm gonna keep it. I have always said I can spend half as much money on the motor as the imports spend and run better...so that what i'm going for......wish me luck

hey dont feel bad bout the 3.1L The 305 is one of the biggest turds iv ever driven can barley get out of its own way. What matters is that your happy with it. Tons of people hate the 305 but its not a bad motor to me i plan on keeping it and just doing some small work to it. im happy with it and thats all that matters is that your happy with ur ride. besides u prolly get awesome gas mileage.

OH MAN....

I'm in LOVE with your hood...

seriously

like i said they are turds lol. i dont have to much problem off the line against a lot of cars tho with my rear end and gearing so low.

Interesting, but I have my doubts... Maybe an older carbed 305 berlinetta or sport coupe? I've been really happy with 86' iroc 305 tpi, my best mpg with it was a 200 mile trip down the interstate averaged 23 mpg with cruise set @ 70 mph. I can usually get about 18 mpg around town... I'm not real easy on the throttle either, but I have also done a lot of work tuning it up, replaced every sensor and adjusted everything to make sure it's working properly. Great cars, I love them.

I like the hood on your car, looks like it belongs there, good job!!!
