it is but if i remember correctly its something like 300 per can, i would probably not have done it if i didnt get it for free, but my car has absolutly no rattles what so ever, before the rebuild this thing creaked and rattled like crazy, replacing every interior clip also helped alot

Looks awesome, great work on the build.

The entire car is gray and black, very anti-color which is cool and sinister looking. Needs some black 18-19" wheels to complete the look.

The car came out awesome, glad to see you saved it. To many LT1s are becoming what you started with and most wont be so lucky to get the restore yours did.

All I can say is WOW. This is a very clean and beautifully done lt1 t/a. Congrats man. Turned out so nice. Love that color too. Seems to flow well with the car and does an awesome job showing the lines.
