Looking good. Heck of a lot of work. What made you decide to start with such a rough car? I guess it's because you can obviously do good work, and I guess you enjoy it too...? Looking at all that work made me tired.

Brang, i love finding the junks, it feels great to get a total garbage car some people would part out and make it into a show piece, i figure if im gonna buy something with 100k miles on it, im gonna replace everything anyway so why start with something good when i know ill be guttin it anyway.

Should have some more recent pics up this weekend

Thanks man, they were actually broken stockers when i got them, i cut the backs out and molded the back of an Audi light and shield to it to accept the xenon bulb, Then i painted the center of the lights dark gun metal gray and the outsides black, hit them with some clear, and tinted the len's when they were apart, i dont use VHT i use high quality clear with a mix of black paint in it to give me the effect

Hurst **** is good for 20hp too!

I'm a little bit jealous of your skills... my car could be really nice if i knew a 1/4 of your skills... I also saved my car from the salvage yard, and its come a really long way, but the last bit is outta my technical know how.

I'm excited to see this thing in some color and all buttoned up!

So I'm curious, do you have TT2s on both the WS6 and the Camaro now? Or did you take the TT2s off the WS6 and put them on the Camaro and now you have baller wheels on it?
