My Son's 78 Z28 resto-mod

Post by teamradrz1 »

We have been working on this car together for 3 years now, still not done but showable.
here is the day we trailered it home for $400 with a blown motor and a couple at the Portland rod and custom show with a couple in between.
He took 2nd place for high school challenge I think he lost 1st due to interior is not finished.

true factory Z28 car so has a 3.42 posi rear, and we stuffed a newer centerbolt 350 / 325HP motor in it and TH350 with stage 2 B&M shift kit and B&M Torque converter.

Also just met with the Multnomah Hot Rod Council tonight and Cody got a $3200 scholarship to Clackamas community College to pursue the automotive program from being the winner of the High school challenge with his camaro at the Portland Roadster show.
