Default Few Pictures of my newly painted SS

She is naked. And i might keep her that way except for a stinger. Considering a berger panel. Will be putting a black SS grille with Red SS outline and tinting the windows next. I am happy to have her back.

ummm.... what exactly was painted, and why?

Since it is a 35th SS LE, I'd put the stripes back on. Yes, it looks good all red, but the LE cars are special.

I was T-boned March 26th on the high way. 12K in damage, whole drive side, hood and both wheels destroyed.

I have to wait a couple weeks to put any decals on for the paint. yes, the paint is much nicer than factory, i paid for it though! and yes it is a real 35th LE as well. I am going to think about it..but i definetly want a SLP SS grille for the front, not sure if i'll keep it black though, may paint it red.

hahaha, I've got about 15 horse power on him and i am lighter, thats for sure. I pulled away at the top of 3rd both times, didnt smoke him by any means, but both times i was pulling away..

I raced the same 408...from a 3rd gear punch i got him by a fender, from 2nd he got me up to 4th by just over a car. His tranny is slipping pretty good.

Dan is a great guy and will be an asset to your club.

My payments due on the 10th of October, go ahead and start making the payments and I'll put them back on. Until then I'll keep it the way i like. Thanks though, Its a High End paint job, im sure the 150.00 dollar stripes will make the car.

Looks great, yep, go for that black SLP grille and tint the windows.

Damn, from 35th SS LE back to "ordinary and common appearance" SS.

Thanks guys, but if you saw it, you would know its not ordinary..the paint work is exceptional. After all, the body shop had her for almost 6 months. Im debating it and good news is i have time.
