There was a black SS in one of the major magazines 2 or 3 years ago,,,all kinds of custom touches to it,,,I remember it had rear brake cooling ducts incorporated,,,likely the slickest SS I've ever stumbled across!!!! Never seen it again though!!!

I know exactly which one you are talking about. That is a sweet Monte for sure. I only ever seen it in the one mag, I have that issue but don't remember which mag it was. He did some SERIOUS Mods to that one, other than the brake ducts.

I haven't completely decided on wheels yet, so if anybody has any other suggestions throw'em out there. If you can do some photoshop work with putting suggestions on the current one, that would be awesome. Might give me a more visual idea.

Could somebody photoshop those wheels on to my rendering, or just change the color of that car to Kandy Apple Red? I would but, I suck at photo chopping.

Frank, is that a car you guys have done? Do you know what size wheels and tires those are, and any idea what a set like that would run?

Thanks,
Joe

Loks like its comming aloong pretty well, love the g bodys:unibrow:

It runs 335s in the rear and 295s on the front. Because we widen the track it has a 4" lip on the front wheel which I just love the look of, and a 5" lip on the rear wheels. Besides building the flares, he did a 1" frame notch also to clear those 335s.
