not always. Fbodys here are one of the rarest car you can find. minus the V6s ofcourse. hell i have seen only ONE LS1 TA carrying Dubai number plates in 20 years lol. most of the LSx cars here are caprice and lumina SS having the LS1 engines, we dont even have GTOs and C5 Z06s so people really dont know the difference between LS1 and LS6 intakes or engines lol.

Awesome find!

Upon seeing the tub being used as a parts washer I immediately thought...

1. Wife/GF is extremely cool

or

2. Wife/GF is extremely sight impared

or

3. You are single and live in your parents basement and they have no clue what you do down there

AND finally painted it chrome silver..it turned out OK for a 15 mins job there are a couple of air bubbles and some flow but its alright.








and i do have a question about the clear coat. should i wait like 24 hours for the paint to dry then spray clear? i tried painting a piece of plastic just to see how it turns out, so i spryed paint first let it sit for 20 mins, after i sprayed clear all the gloss and shine went away! should i give it more time? or should i just leave it without clear coat? thanks.
