Default tigershark/wide body/supercharger = more smiles per gallon

Just got my car out of the body shop and wanted to share. Had the v2 supercharger(bought used from fellow forum member) installed by east texas muscle cars just 2 weeks ago then went straight to paint/body. Made 536 at the wheels and it's a bone stock ls1! I think it turned out pretty good and with only 38k original miles it should give me many more smiles to come. Thanks for looking!

Thank you! Ruff racing wheels 954. 20x10.5 rear and 19x8.5 front. Used 2 inch hubcentric adapters and in my opinion doesn't look cheesy at all.

I agree but at least it'll be fun at car shows watching people wonder why it's not on the passenger side like all the newer head units lol

Very nice - looks like East Texas Muscle Cars and your body shop did a great job pulling everything together.

Thanks Vetteman Jack! Actually the hood was done at a different body shop last summer and long story short I'll never use them again. This new body shop I'm using now just blew me away with their quality of work. I'll use them forever.

Yeah I've contemplated this before. I guess it'll depend on the wheels I go with. Weld rts black with polished lip would look good I think.

Your car looks great cpeezy!

And although I'm a bit biased, I do think the color scheme on this car ROCKS!
