HOLY COW!!!! :thumbsup:



I need to take a minute and catch my breath...



Could you take the time to give us the details of your car? I for one would love to know what's under that thing, including tire and wheel size.:hurray:

By the way, I like the gun metal only because the stripes show up a little better. I'm still speechless.

Here are the up to date statistics on it. Any other questions just ask. I will post more pictures soon.



Factory Options:

This as far as i know is an original SS, I know it at least came with a V8 option. I did find bits and pieces of the build sheet but can't make out a damn thing on it due to the mice who drug it into the rocker panel on pass side to make a nest out of it. I have had this car for almost three years now and it has months until it is finished.

No miles on new suspension

And i am at the point where i need to perfect all the small details on the body before i paint it. The paint will be a Dark metalic Charcoal paint. With tinted windows to match the paint, i will not be blacking out the windows, but adequite tint. Shaved Nova emblems throughout the cars exterior, with custom marker lights on the way that are LED, and Might go with custom LED tail lights.

I realize this is a very old thread but I wanted to see if anyone knows the brand of the wheels on this car. I am not looking for the exact version but would like to see what else this company offers. Thanks,

i like the dark charcoal also!
