Gotta admit though, those were some sweet cars for that time frame. Honestly, I still want one in my collection. A buddy of mine has one that he bought brand, spankin new in 1995. He's upgraded it with an LS3 and a 6-speed automatic, big brakes, 3-piece 20" wheels and a host of other goodies. It is one bad car.

Marcus, I hear ya! Bill Goldberg used to be a neighbor of mine, and he had one at the time that would absolutely move! That car was quick.
Of course he's a big dude, and he fit the car pretty well, so I see what Trey is talking about also.

They are sweet cars...we blew up or old streetfighter racing an ls1/t56/vortech blown 95 Impala SS in Huntsville.

Worst part, was we drove the car there, instead of towing it...waited 6 hours for the truck/trailer

We have had quite a bit or progress on this project lately.

The headers and exhaust are getting built.




The new billet intake crossram has part files at the machine shop.


The cardboard template was had colored in house with every highlight on the premises to show the different parts and contrast.


The front and rear ride height are being fully defined to the new owners liking.

We are setting up the rear axle with for the full floater housing ends to allow the brake calipers to clear the chassis main rails at this low of a ride height. And who has 21" mock up wheels? I wish I did.


Bob Braga was in So Cal and stopped by to take some pictures for some parts he is working on for this project. It will be cool.

Roger, the intake looks sweet. What will it be made of....billet, carbon fiber, sheet metal, etc??

Nevermind...I wasn't paying attention. Funny how my school teachers used to tell me that very same thing as I gazed out the window. LOL!!

IF -- this project was still mine... I'd ditch that big fat ass front bumper and do something really small and discreet... The way it is now it looks like it's got a big fat wad of chew in the lower lip.
