Nice! Awesome that you have the T-Tops! Don't like that it is Automatic, just because it is funner to drive Standard. But how does it handle?

It handles better than the 01' w/ 103k I drove a month ago. Its tight, smooth and tracks straight. It has new lower control arms which probably contribute to it. The only thing that needs to be done on the suspension is new rear shocks because they're shot. You sound like my buddy's when it comes to the transmission lol

Not a whole lot as of yet. Just long tubes, z-style hood and maybe 35th anniversary stripes. I'm talking to a guy in ls1 tech about getting some leather 35th seats. Other than that just restoration. I say not a whole lot because the previous owner had tuned the car and it was making 425hp at the wheels three years ago. I think its still pretty close I will chirp the wheels from 1-3 and can still come loose at 50mph. Thats with no head work and no bottom end work.

Its a toggle switch and the wires that are out of place are running from the connections for the gauge cluster fuse. I'm assuming the switch and wires are related. Could it be a kill switch?? I'm afraid to mess w/ it

Never mind apparently the Body Control Module is wired into the cluster fuse on all f-bodys. So it is a kill switch :D

buy these stainless lines off me!

I don't think I can. Management has been firing people left and right and I don't know whose next. I need to save as much as possible right now. :(
My birthday is in November if you still have them laying around I'll have some money to blow by then.
