The body was left 100% stock on the outside and a mostly stock interior. Under the car is now completely new.

Schott Mod Sport wheels are insanely detailed and have some what of a resemblane to a stock Pontiac Ralley. We sprayed them in a matte silver to resemble the original stock version. And they look sick against the black body.

A few shots from below after everything was assembled

Interior pretty much bone stock. The car has a Billet Specialties steering wheel. We mounted Classic Instruments G-Stock gauges behind the factory bezels. They definitely look like they could have come on the car like this.

Engine is a 510 HP LS2 from Turn Key Engines. Everything in the engine compartment has been blacked out or hidden to give the car a pretty clean, simple look.

That frame is pure art. It almost a shame to cover it with that Goat body!

Why don't you post some pics of the shop, it looks like you guys have a very nice shop and do some kick ass work. Your shop looks huge.

That looks awesome! Very clean. I've seen you guys run your '66 and '70 Chevelle at RTH and I'm impressed with them. It really makes me want to build an A-Body.

I'll second the request for some shop pics, it looks like you guys have an awesome setup.
