Default New Project Car
Well, I have been looking for a Hugger SS for a couple of years now. After looking at several cars, I ended up picking up a 99 Hugger Z28. The car is fully built with an AES shortblock, Frankenstein heads, MWC 9", etc.

I attached a couple of pics of the car from the previous owner.

Car is currently getting an 8.50 cage and chute, 15"Bogarts, and full AJE suspension with strut conversion, Wilwood brakes, etc. Also have a couple of new Precision 76s in the works.

Will get some updated pics soon.
