The 2nd appearance mod to the new SS. The car is sitting in the garage waiting for a part to get up and running so I figured I'd run out to Autozone and pick up some spray paint so I could do the "berger" mod as well as putting on my new stainless inserts that my lovely wife got me for Christmas.



The 1st mod was swapping out the horrible wheels that were on the car for some budget wagon wheels. Here is a few pictures.....



Before:




Now:




Next appearance upgrade will be an SS spoiler that hopefully will be here in the next few weeks

Indeed is a real SS. Previous owner got it repo'd and decided to strip it while it was still in his posession. Working on bring it back to it's old glory (with a sunoco hood instead of ss hood)!

good to know you're not trying to "build" an SS.

that's completely sacrilegious in my eyes.
