Very clean HOSS!
H.O. was my first choice in color, but I'm happy with my BPM Z.

Thanks!! Yeah the motor is my next area to work on indeed! As far as placing, the categories were really F'd up IMO; I was in the Hot Rod category, which was the ONLY category for Muscle cars. So imagine my little SS up against old skool iron, muscle AND blowers!! (guess the outcome, lol)

Thanks man!!

Next mods are my Berger panel and Wings West grill (both already in the works). That should about finish up my exterior (until I finally decide on stripes) and give it that clean look I am looking for.

And if anyone is wondering, the plate says "eMBaRaSS yoU"

Love it! Can't say I'm a fan of that red stb, though. Should have gone with the black one.

I love the LT1 tails; IMO, all red for a "little" retro look plus the clean body lines!
