DP!! I would have to agree your paint and the cleanliness of your car is amazing!!
Move down here we have so many show you would get tired you have to pick and chose which ones there is one or two every weekend this month and 3 or 4 next month I was at one yesterday and won a plaque the show was a top 40 there was 150 cars there and the SS get's a lot of attention so you would do very well here!!

thanks fellas....there are some shows up here but with my work schedule i work a lot of weekends which sucks but bills gotta be paid lol....i had a guy ask me how i fit a V8 into a V6 car....i had to inform him it was that way from the factory and gave a little run down on our engines....i need to get one of those poster things that give specs on the car and what not....i dont think people have any clue what i have done to my car and what it really is so i get few looks and/or respect.

Damn good lookin' car bro. Sucks to hear about the rain as well, all that work for an hour of good weather, just sucks. I have to say, those wheels were meant for that car, simply perfect! Thanks for the pics.

Joe.

Are your grills missing in some of the pics for cleaning purposes? If so, how do you remove those? Is it easy?

they just push out from the back. there is a place to put your fingers above the fogs to pull that one out and i was told that you can push the other 2 out if you take the headlights out but never tried that.
