I really like my LS powered machines but there's something about making fine adjustments to a performance engine that is both fun and satisfying. Of course spending time with my Pop under the hood is always time well spent.

Oh the good ole days when you could do your own tuning and make it right!! My dad had a 63 Impala SS with a 327 in it he used to tinker with. Nice..

Man that IS a very stunning looking Z28!! Gotta say. Would love to drive one, but I don't know anyone around here that has one. Plus I never see any out in the wild either. I guess they have them in "protection". lol

Well deserved, your car looks cleaner than it probably was right off the lot. Looks brand new!

Thank you sir, The wall of tools always draws more attention than the car ever does. LOL

I actually think Ls3 can clean up nicely!
