So this car has been hanging around for awhile, and we finally started to assemble after paint right before our "big move" to our new shop. (By the way we are STILL finishing inside the new shop, having to move our entire business AND build the shop takes alot more than you think!)
So its more of a mild restomod, but I u think its turning out pretty cool and nicely done? It doesn't have as much high end parts as some, but all together a sweet package. Sounds amazing too! Let me know what you think!

A nice set of Kore3 brakes on the GM short spindle, and a nice clean set of Rocket Racing Boosters!

Notched a stock tank for the 3 inch exhaust, and put a mount on for an Edelbrock Quietflo (502 has no mechanical pump boss!)

The car is American Autowired, with a Dakota Digital VHX cluster. Wait until you see the upper dash CNC machined trim piece that we are about to market.

The exhaust is a ma!gnaflow kit up to the axle, then we did a simple change at the tail pipe. The tips are Dynatech's. They are a nice simple touch and match the wheel lips nicely

They are Hedman elites. They fit ok, had to clip the corner of the lower a arm mounts thats all. Lots of ground clearance.
Backspace is 5.25 on the rears.. they are rocket racing boosters
