mcdub13 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Well guys heres my attempt at a tribute car for a freind and coworker of mine that past away this last october. The car im building is a twin turbo 80's z28 to match the car he built. So far ive been working slowly and doing what I can . Heres some quick pics so far. The kit i got as a base was not a ttop car like his so that was modified . I also found wheels pretty similiar to his so I used those as well. So far it has been alot of work making it all fit but it should be worth it in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcdub13 Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 Yea he ran a regular 350 on the bottle then decided to build this boosted LS. It was a bad ass car , he really knew his stuff . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
