Default Few pics of my Copper SS

I just got it all back together after 2 years of being apart. Buying a house and having a child made this a bigger project than I was expecting it to be. It has a 418 Iron block w/AFR's and custom grind Futral cam.....going to the dyno Sat. morning.

Damnit man, that is a very clean car, a whole lot of show and plenty of go. Not a big fan of gfx though, but besides that car is sick.

I like the gfx... looks great. I like the way you did the grill even... front license plates offically suck though.

I just run without em... never had a problem yet. Some places you can't get away with it though.

Kills me to leave the plate there but as loud as the car is...I figure I dont need to draw anymore attention to myself. Already worried about getting pulled every drive I take. VA Troopers love the front tag tickets.

Sick color. Car looks really good. Just needs to have the headlights buffed out, or throw some new ones at it. They look a little hazy.

Looks great man!

The only thing Id change are the wheels. Looks damn good as is, but would look even better with some nice wheels in like a 18/19 combo IMO.

Love the color. GFX are not my thing. Did a double take on the hood pic. Did not realize your car had flames the first time I looked at it. Thought they were reflections of the clouds. How nice it must be to have a freshly painted and cleared engine bay and front clip stuff.

Looks good. I believe it was mothers plast-x I used on a couple hazy headlights. That stuff does wonders with a lil elbow grease. An orbital buffer doesnt hurt either.

Nice car. Not really liking the ground gfx, but they dont take anything away from the car. Awesome job.

Thanks for taking the time to post guys. Alot of work went into this car.... I Painted the car with a buddy over two years ago and it sat in the weather until I recently could afford to finish it up. Hope it puts down good numbers but even if it doesnt I'm just happy to be riding again!!
