Default Schwartz Performance 65 Tempest- LS3

The team here at Schwartz Performance Inc. (www.schwartzperformance.com) have been thrashing to get a customers 65 Tempest done for Power Tour, that starts Saturday.
We put one of our chassis underneath it with coilovers, 14" rotors, Baer 6P calipers; the goodies.
We started the build in early april, and it wasn't such a pretty sight back then. It now has many new panels, and all the rust was fixed.
We've only got 2 days left, and since last night I've been posting updates on our homepage.
I'll keep posting pics and progress till friday night or saturday morning!

-Dale Schwartz

I saw that 65 tempest at the show. It looked like they pieced the whole thing together. The bumpers are not even painted. It looks like they cut the trans tunnel after they sprayed the floor. Mock Up anyone not impressed.
