Default Just ordered the last part I need..

And it looks like I'm gonna be all ready to roll for Atlanta next month...

So here's the list of what's gonna go on the car over the next couple weeks:

Eibach Pro kit
QA1 HAL "F" series shocks
BMR 32mm front sway bar
BMR 21mm rear sway bar
LG street non-adjustable LCAs
BMR relocation brackets
BMR Strut tower bar
17x9" OEM '98-'00 WS6 Wheels
275/40/17 Goodyear F1s
Suncoast "Raptor" intake (replaced the broken one)
Earl's SS brake lines
Earl's brake speed bleeders

Plus...

I'm gonna paint my brake calipers red...I have a chrome "bird" overlay for the front, and a chrome "Pontiac" overlay for the back. I had the stock WS6 center caps painted gloss black, and put a red "screaming chicken" on them. My engine compartment detailing supplies should have arrived today.

When I come back from Atlanta, I should have even more budget to start doing horsepower mods.. Getting over the hump to get the body work done is gonna open up the flood gates on mods now.

Car is really starting to come together

Nice list... it'll be easy to do all that at once.

And to think, I'm still trying to complete my suspension.

Especially considering that it still has the ORIGINAL DeCarbons it came with from the factory with 81K miles on them!

It will be nice to have it actually handle like it should.

Damn dude you went from rare interesting color formie that needs a bath to all out bad *** pretty damn quick. Sweet!!!

I hear you on the paint that is probably the biggest reason I got rid of my 93 it was in good shape but it was 10 years old with 95k miles on it. I was looking at 5k in exterior work...to get it the way I wanted it.

I'm thinking either the weekend of the 23rd or the 30th. I need to make sure I have all the parts in hand first. Everything's ordered, and I just need to get the STB and sway bars from TranzorZ28 and sardog46.

Should go pretty quick, really. Wanna get it on in time to have an alignment done and my tranny serviced.

I'm just getting warmed up here

This is pretty much just clearing out all of the parts I've been stashing away for the last year until I had the body work done... plus some new ones I bought to complete the package. There are many many many many mods to come on this car.

Once I get back from Atlanta, my next project is to see how deep into the 12s I can get it. First mods are gonna be a set of Mickey Thompson ET Street radials, GMMG chambered exhaust, long tubes, y-pipe and a LS6 intake... then it's time to start focusing on getting a converter and a 12-bolt.

Yeah, this one certainly hasn't been cheap. Including the car I've already got about $25K into it as it sits.... and I'm sure that before the end of the year I'll be looking at $35K... maybe more.

But that's why I bought it.... and I wanna see this car looking the way something as rare as it is should look.

Sounds awesome dude.

I wish you better luck then I had. I got all that (minus the LCAs and relo brackets) and it just wasn't anywhere near what I thought it would be handling wise........I think my problem was more the parts (diff brands/sizes/styles then you got) I got then anything else though.........who knows.
