Wow great job lock! Very classy build. Have you changed the rear axles yet?

Its on the list... that list is long. Id love to hook up on a launch but the axels scare me.

Congrats on COTW!!

I love those shots looking from the rear fender up the side. It just looks so muscular. What can I say? I'm an ass man!

Nice ride! Congrats on COTW!!!

It looks like you're trying to stay on the conservative side with the exterior, which is great because that car really doesn't need the wild body kits and huge deep dish wheels to look good. I think it would look awesome if you got just the GM factory front lip spoiler and left it black. It would look especially good with it lowered the way you've got it.

Me likey!

Thanks yeah, Im not a bling guy or some one who has to stick every aftermarket gadget cover, panel etc on the car. A few tasteful changes make a car unique and yours. No need to go over the top. Thanks for noticing.

very nice indeed...i love the wheels! I have the same tire config...what a difference it makes in the overall look.

More goodies waiting to be installed once the weather warms up a little. Man I need heat in the shop.

BMR Sways and end links
BMR cradle and diff bushings
ACT twin disc clutch. Stock on is slipping after the cam upgrade.

Got the the BMR sways and ACT twin disc clutch in finally. Really impressed with the clutch. It has a little more pedal pressure than stock but is very smooth for a performance clutch. Still breaking it in so I don't know how well it holds on a full launch. I'm sure it will be fine. Rated at 850 pounds of torque!

Going to wait and tackle the diff and cradle bushings at a later date when it warms up some. That does not look like a fun job to do in my shop. Id love to get a lift!
