Ok, so we have all seen the video of the 5th Gen silver with black striped el camino where he is just tearing it up... oh yea! :o

Anyways, I thought I would make my own video (and I did) and I guess it didn't dawn upon me to let the car take a break in between racing, donuts, and sick burnouts. If anyone wants to see some clips let me know, I'm trying to put together a video right now. Anyways!!!

I messed up my head gasket, need to get the radiator flushed, and need to rebuild the rear end. It was a LONG weekend. haha :lol:

I decided since I have an actual Corvette LT1 (everyone with an LT1 claims to have a corvette motor) I am going to get it rebuilt and I may as well make it a stroked 383 with all forged internals. It should push atleast 500 HP motor and be well capable of handling an additional 300 shot of nitrous. 8-)

Over the next 3 weeks I will be removing the engine and having it rebuilt, removing the radiator and having it flushed, replacing my steering box, probably upgrading my exhaust from 2.5 inch duals to 3 inch duals, and getting the rear end rebuilt. If anyone is begining a project of their own or is just plain curious please let me know and I would be glad to help out with as many pictures as possible.

Oh, and I still believe the car will be done in time for the Super Chevy Show. :D
