Default Saved an SS

Long story short I got a good deal on White SS from a friend however it had been sitting for years when he got it.

Besides a 2 page list of mechanical/hacked wiring I had to sort out the body was beattt.

It's hard to tell because it white however you can see some of it







The car is actually an SS for whatever reason the spoiler was changed out for a Z28






















I hate the wheels will be throwing Weld RT-S rims on it over winter.


Before the body work yanked the motor and cleaned out the oil pan and did rod bolts/trex cam/valve springs/true duals/ls6 intake/etc








Over winter I will be doing a TH350 swap, Fabbed 9inch, Kmember/suspension, cage, along with more weight reduction.

Hood pins are on it to save weight...

The car isn't supposed to be a show car or anything trying to get in the top 10 cam only list.

Nice work! Did you repaint the whole car, if so did you consider another color or were you decided on white all along?

I really only liked the car because it was white

My last car was a 98 Arctic white Formula

The rest of this cars life will be a drag/street car after I make some attempts moving up the cam only list next season I will start working on a forged motor and a single turbo setup.

Car is weighs in at 3050 right now on those wheels.

Always love to see a clean white SS. The RT-S wheels are gonna look sick. What's up with the red viper?

Awesome job! I always like to see good cars get saved instead of parted or run into the ground.
