Well, I'm good at what I like to call selective photography, in other words she does look good, but not as good as the pics make it seem. The drivers door has been hit three times and needs to be replaced again, cause the new one I put on is a huge pos, and the front end is damaged, hence the bra. Don't get the wrong idea though, she doesn't belong in any trailer park. Mods are as follows, the basics, exhaust, k&n, and all the free stuff I could do. Best time is 14.7 @ 98 mph, future plans call for head work (she sat for eight years under a car cover and now the seals are all dried up) and trying to fix all the little stuff, i.e. cracked windshield, drivers door, new hood, new front bumper and ground effect, like I said mostly little stuff. For the time being, I don't have a plan for any major mods, she goes good enough for now and until I get something else to drive she's gonna stay that way.

As for me, I am a 25 year old college student, I am hoping to transfer to the academy of art in san francisco this summer and pursue a career in film. For the time being I am a loader operator, I load barges with wood chips or logs and send them off to Canada. I enjoy my job but need one that pays me enough to be able to work on my car.

Welcome!

I wish my paint looked like those pics!

Tell us more about the car like TraviZzZZzzZzz said.

Is it an RS or are you just not a fan of grid tailights?

350, auto, and it's an IROC-Z, the grid taillights got broken and I scored these ones for free off a friend, so I've stuck with them.

And no the orange 76 is a friends. It's got a bored and stroked 454, 4 speed, it's quite the machine.

Please ditch the RS tailights, they're only like $20 at your local PNP.

The nearest pick and pull is about 200 miles so ebay is my only choice for now, and they are all selling for over 60.00 last time I checked. They will be replaced, I hate the ones that are on there but they are pretty low on the replace list. Heads, front wrap, hood, windshield, door, then taillights. Got to have priorities.
