my project begins

[Ebbsvette]

well, winter is almost here and my tourist area town has died down. Time to make my vette project. My list includes custom fiberglass dash, fiberglass door panels, fiberglass center consol, fiberglass sub box, roll cage, making my 350 a 383 stroker, powder coating engine parts, and the list goes on and on.......ill be posting pics of how everything is going in the future hopefully ill get it all completed for next years Nopi competition....

gunna powder coat the engine yellow to match the paint?

[Eric Happy Meal]

i say you stroke it to a different CI, youll get more attention, stroke it like to a 387, or something not so common. and is that your car in your sig?

[pinoyhero]

Great project car, thought I was going to see another 81 celica or something. Good luck can't wait to see the progress.

[Ebbsvette]

yea, engine will be yellow and black and other parts will be the same....
yes that is my car in the sig. and the 383 is a pretty easy thing to do. as far as the engine goes im not going all out. ill give it alot of power, throw a 100 shot of nos on it and be done, the custom intertior and exterior will be the main attention getter with the car

[DonJuan]

383 with Nitrous? in a vette? wow that's gonna be sickly fast. My bro has a 90 S-10 with a 383 Stroker in it and he as enough trouble getting it to hook up so tossin nitrous on yours will be absolutley nuts! Make sure you plan on upgrading to a detroit Locker, cuz an LSD won't cut it and will blow up after a couple runs. You'll be lookin at atleast 13.5 ET. Good luck and keep us posted.
