well here are some more pictures of the car.

The interior is perfect. i mean mint.
The Body is straight, the paint is mint except for minor spots on the front and rear bumper. but i allready got corvette yellow paint and
am having a paint shop respray the bumpers.
The Motor as stated before is a 350 gm crate motor, stroked..
Stocker Carb. the Quadro jet.
edelbrock high rise manifold.
edelbrock long tube hedders.
Mild cams ( not to sure about the cam duration specs. need to find out )
Flowmaster 40 series 3 inch setup (Catback)
Hoooker high flow fuel pump.

As of now im not planning to due any motor work, cause im happy with the power.( for now..lol)
The only thing that bothers me about this car is the crappy electrical wiring job the previous owner did.
Im a electrical engineer, and when i looked under the dash by the fuse panel...i cried a little. he has the after market fuel pump wired to the turn signal fuse, this of course to turn the fuel pump on when key is on acc. Who does that...every time i want to indicate a turn, my fuel pump starts to bug out because the lights are overdrawing and killing any power to the pump. so im going to run a relay to the acc and then an independent 12V to the pump on a switch .

Well thats preaty much the update as of now.Im probably going to be working on the wiring for the next few weeks in between work.
I always appreciate any input from you guys keep the suggestions comming.If you think or know of something that would make my ride a bit nicer, pass it on. Im crazy ill try anything once...lol

Thanks.
