ive just bought a new toy !! a chevy v8

[Pidster]

ive finally got round to buying my new project car its a black 78 chevy camaro 5.0 v8 . its having a full strip down/rebuild and a reworked rear end (rear wings and rear valances plus a subtle spoiler) from a 70 camaro painted in triple black with a bigger engine when i can find one suitable .

this is an example of my car


and this is the only likeness i can find (car hasnt arrived here yet so no pictures yet) of what im doing to the rear end


opinions welcome as to if it will look ok i think it works

its got 2 cherry bomb exhausts on it , i didnt hear it run coz the electrics are shot !! its getting fuel but no spark .

im gonna sell the engine and box anyway, im after a big block v8 , im listing it on ebay soon (apparently its been fully rebuilt costing 2.5k) but no proof .
