88 vette project
Well i'm getting pretty far on my 88 vette project.
I bought it over a year ago.
No suspension (front and rear) no bolts, no motor trans --super clean interior
I belive i've turned (EVERY SINGLE BOLT--TWICE)
MY car has a fresh 358 with old reworked camel back heads
flat tops
isky cam
holley carb
350 turbooooo
dual points
the cars whole suspenison (front) and (rear) is aluminum and is 3/4 polished (very shiney)

that engine's going to blind you in the sun. I have a 90 Red vette but it's all stock.
I need some of you bling on mine I have Chrome envy.

Thanks
she was almost dead \\
THE SECOND OWNER SOLD (my poor cars suspension to a nice 32 owner or something close.
So when I got it/ she had no suspension.
I had to sit on the ground for a week or two.....lol
So I went on a search and found some dude local who had a complete EXTRA front and rear suspension from a 85 corvette.
He was also in need of a vette hood, so .......
I traded him my VETTE hood for his extra suspension...front and rear.......lol
it sounds like a crazy deal---BUT I THINK I WON--on that deal
He gave me his broke hood in the deal too. (so I had a hood to put on the car in the mean time) super sweet deal.....
ive since bought a new (used) hood for 500 bucks
So i paid $500 bucks for my complete suspension with ....and he got a nice hood
I think we were all happy at the end of the day.
WHAT MADE THE DEAL SWEET WAS THAT I GOT EVERY SINGLE BOLT AND THE WASHERSLast edited by 40 chevy shawty; 01-04-2011 at 09:40 PM.
