Default 01 SS few shots

I finally got my car back together after throwing #6 rod through the side of the block. I found a good low mile LQ4 shortblock on eBay so I picked it up and swapped it in. Mods are in sig. Car still needs some work like the emblems which I have and the paint on the nose and rubber from the CME on the rear. I need to Zaino it as well. Now for the pics which aren't that good but better than none. Enjoy!

Looks nice! Pewter and black go great together! You DO need to add some black accent to the front tho. Get that SS scoop painted black to balance the accenting out and then........DAMN what a fine car! Swat

P.S. Look out, theres a crack in the road, might be a sink hole! Oh wait, you're in KY not TX.

Very nice! Perfect choice on the wheel/tire combo. Are those 305s?

Thank you guys for all the kind words! Yes little by little all my plans are coming alive. Thankfully one of the biggest is already done being the iron 6.0 swap. A SLP SS grille is in the future. I can't wait to get that on cause it will really set the front off and especially when I get the emblems on there. I'm undecided on tint but I'm thinking I will eventually persuade myself to get some. As far as the tires they are 315/35/17 Nitto drag radials.
