Default TT LSX 59 Impala nearly complete...finally

Finally nearing completion, few bugs to be worked out, and a couple pieces of trim to be installed, but after a years worth of work, it's almost done.
Before/after:




Bigger pics http://www.ls1speed.com/59/finished.cfm

Hope to take better pics in the next few days here. Baseline Dyno numbers on 93 octane netted over 640RWHP.

Big thanks to my crew here at Speed Inc. and everyone else involved.

No, the exterior paint came back to life very nicely. I had the stainless trim restored, and rechromed the bumpers.

I did sandblast the undercarriage, painted it the "correct" color, and had the frame powdercoated.
