A little teaser of what my car will be like when finished

[JL8Jeff]

69 Z28 Crossram JL8

But the big difference is that this car is not a real JL8 4 wheel disc brake car, it had the JL8 brakes added to it so it's not a documented JL8 car like mine. My car has the standard black interior instead of the Orange Houndstooth.

Looks Great Jeff....can't wait to see it when it's done. Â*I actually talked with Rich this afternoon about meeting with him in about 3 weeks to talk about the business.

[SteveR]

That's gonna look so purdy

[Ian]

Probably the only car I would honestly kill someone for. Amazing. I can't wait to see some pics of yours when its finished.

[JL8Jeff]

It's scary how the prices are skyrocketing on these cars. I can't wait for my car to be done. It's going on 7+ years I've been trying to get a JL8 car restored.

Very nice. I love that intake manifold, very good for a reving motor.

just don't let it become a trailer queen. i drive my car - not that it's anything special, just a sport coupe with a 307 - and i will continue to drive it regardless of what someone else says it's worth. cars were meant to be driven, not trailered around from car show to car show.

I'm pretty sure as soon as its finished, its going up for auction

In the words of Chip Foose... "You don't build trophies, you build cars to drive."

[JL8Jeff]

The only way I'll be driving mine is if the musclecar market has a major crash before my car is finished. I'll be selling it to recoup the money I've got dumped into it and driving the car will take away an easy $10,000 in value from my car. I'll buy something I can actually drive with the money left over after I pay off my mortgage.

[jims69camaro]

oh. i didn't know that was the plan.

Yea, we've been bugging him about it for a while, but he refuses to give us rides in it outs:

[JL8Jeff]

Yeah, I'm not real happy about the plan, but when the car is worth $150K or more, I'll be scared to drive it in NJ.

A quick spin down your street isn't that bad though....few cars, and the deer are mostly out at night. The biggest fear would be getting hit by a golf ball....

How about a 'viewing' when it's done?

That was my fear when i picked up the scanner from you. All i kept thinking was "FORE!!!" as the ball smashes my rear windshield. I was going to do the Orange Houndstooth interior on my chevelle, but was running out of money so that plan was cancelled. That will look amazing Jeff!

[camaro2you]

gonna be a nice car how long before its done

[JL8Jeff]

I wish I knew. I was hoping it would be done some time this year, but I don't what the progress is at the moment. It will definitely take a healthy loan to get it finished.
