It has a Ram Jet 350 with tons of work....



















































Its the Green one in the back...

The pillar was not big enough for all of the guages, so custom arm rest window sill guage pods were made...

And although it was not a Z28, it is the more superior, GT-R with V-TECH...

And to think, the previous owner only had $30k (for real) invested in it!!!!

Lol... Its all play for the site....

It is actually a very sad story. While at a friends performance shop, trying to get BluebottleZ's TA running, we spotted this thing outside. We discussed why it was at the shop, with as embarassing as it looks.

ANOTHER (very reputable customization/street rod shop) charged a disabled war vet (a recent war) $30,000 to make this car.
Now Im not sure how bad it was before, and maybe the cosmetics were allready F'd up. But I dont see anything, worth 30g.

It was brought to our friends shop, to see if he could help....

Stories like this one make THIS VET very angry!!

Why would anyone do this to a poor F-body? I know some peoples taste so I get that, but the thing is clearly in "joke" status. My anger will only be wiped away if I know this was what the veteran wanted. Please tell me this was what he told them to do, and not just the shop taking his money and doing this as a welcome home surprise.

I agree completely I've seen to many of our brothers and sisters in arms get ripped the Fuck off by someone looking to make a quick Buck. I'm so mad I just wanna go drill instructor and start yelling random shit!

My best guess is the motor swap and the digital dash are what the shop did, along with the true duals..... As for the cosmetics... I believe that was all owner.
