All the work was done in conjunction with F-Body Motorsports, there is a section dedicated on our website for his car, we still have to set-up all the pics though. It has taken about a year for this to be completed, definitely a lot of time and effort put into it and today it has finally ran completely trouble free. It's a 383 H/C car that put down 412 RWHP through an M6, its a pretty conservative set-up and could be driven daily if everything wasnt so clean, the underneath is just as clean so it would be a shame to drive it everyday. But it's definitely a weekend car. Exterior pics and better engine bay pics will be posted in the near future, and our page dedicated to his car will also be up in the near future. You can check-in for updates on his car and the other project (employee cars) by following this link

Depends on how far you would like to go with it. If you want just the cosmetic affect without all the performance then the price will change. You can give us a call and we can give you a better estimate, doing the car like this would be quite expensive, powder coating alone on the entire car was about $5K retail, but thats just about every suspension part, and just about anyhting metal. I will try to get some more pics in the near future.

That picture above is our 94 Formula with a C4 independent rear suspension installed, those 2 cars were practically built side by side, both owners are very close friends. It's engine bay is also very impressive as is the rest of the car. Pics of both cars will be posted soon.
