My LT1 WS6 conversion is complete! (56K dont come in)

Just under 2 1/2 years after i got my TA, I finished my WS6 conversion. The exterior is pretty much done, only plans are some custom badging, blackbird stripes and a gunmetal CETA. Here are pics of the mods that made it a WS6 Clone

Stock

High rise hatch

Trufiber WS6 Hood

WS6 Airbox

WS6 Wheels

didn't think it was a complete clone you were gonna do.

Looks real good, the car has really come along well. I can't wait till I get my Trufiber hood.
