beautifil car. i remember the old thread of the car, great progress.

one question, all of that work on the car and youre still using the cheapo halo headlights?
I'd have to agree with that. As well as the TCS and ABS. Getting rid of those would make for one hella clean engine bay. Car is SICK btw!

That is without a doubt the best 4th gen i've seen. Major props to you, you basically built a new car, but 100x better!

I too recall the old thread and I'm glad there are some recent pics. Your car is amazing, it's cleaner than a brand new one!

sorry, but the halos go with the retro theme....lol
SS is not upsidedown, must be the angle.... we've been thru all that before.

That is beautiful, i can't wait till i can afford to build something super clean like that. I need my car to be operational every day right now, so even if i could afford to paint it and replace all the parts and refinish everything...i can't afford the down time.

What overall goal are you going after with this car? Show only? Show and go? Clean enough that you could eat off of any of it?

I wish I had the patience to go through that much work with mine...that will be quite the car when done.

Alright I am going to say this one more time ITS NOT UPSIDE DOWN! LOL! It must be the photo's like Teri said cause I don't think we would go to all this deatail and work to install an emblem wrong etc... It isn't like we did this in a week we have had years to discover any flaws that you guys think you can see. As for tha Halo lights Tim has a brand new set of GM's head lights, but I'm not usually a fan of these lights but they look fantastic on the car and go with the black and yellow retro paint scheme perfectly. Remember everyone has there perfect car in there own minds, but this is Tim and Teri's. I just helped him do what ever he wanted and tried to be as carefule as possible. A few clarifications on the mod list Teri posted they are TFS 235's and it is TFS fuel rails and fuel presure regulator and the rest I modified. Erik and I spec'd a 427 that should put out 650FWHP so it should be in the 550rwhp range and as far as I know Tim plans to take this to local car shows meets. He will drive it of course not a DD. And we plan on taking it to the track for a few passes. Thanks for all your criticisim and complements. All we have left is to install the Y pipe, cat back, bleed the brakes, get a DS built, tune it and last but not least the final wheel choice Tim has been working on!

Why do all that work for a car thats only like 9 years old? Seems like I would spend my money on a older car. Its badass but in the end its still a F-body.. What was wrong with the car when you started it??
