I am 24 years old and after a long 7 year full frame-off restoration my car is done. For now. My dad and I have been working on this car together since I was 15. Without his help, the car would be nothing like it is. Thanks Dad!!! Its a pretty much full tilt pro touring car. Body and paint was done by East Coast Muscle Cars and my dad and I did the rest. The car has a full DSE hydroformed subframe and 3" drop leafs w/ QA1 adjustables on the rear (quadralink to come). Tranny is a Tremec 5 speed and the rear is a Fully built GM 12 bolt. It has a hydroboost system w/ BAER Track Plus 2-piece 13" rotors front and rear w/ 18" Intro wheels. The motor is a 355 fully forged small block with the off road race cam, pro action heads, brodix intake, Holley carb and Dougs headers w/ 3" SLP Resonators. An LS3 is hopefully soon on the way. Interior is customized too. Ill have more pics to come.

Here's a video I shot in the mean time...

Very impressive car. Beautiful color. Did you paint the bottom of the car blue? Engine bay is very nice and clean. The 5 spoke Intro wheels look good.

Please post more pics when you can.

Ron, I did not paint the bottom of the car blue. Its done in a satin black. I drive the car enough that i didnt want to be cleaning the under side all the time. Too much work! haha Id rather be driving than cleaning :lol:

Congrats on the build! There's something that really rewarding thru the father and son build process - now make sure you never sell the car!

It looks and sounds great!
