I have powder coated the suspension and upgraded the exhaust with a custom stainless system that Hot Rod Dynamics put together for me. This ride is a blast to drive !!!

I appreciate all that have posted so far. These are some really beautiful cars. But I know there has to be more out there that can post a few pics with these being so much more popular in the last few years.

Here's my "budget build" restomod. SR III chassis with LS6 and TKO-600 tranny. Not as fancy as some of the amazing builds on this forum, but built mostly by me to be driven frequently (just went over 10,000 miles since the build) and autocrossed, where it is very competitive. I call it the Grin Reaper since it's impossible to drive without a silly grin on my face.

Thanks! The wheels are 18x8 Boze Pro Lite front and back with insanely sticky 245/40/18 Dunlop Direzza ZII Star tires for autocrossing. I TOTALLY stole the wheel design from a car Christopher (65Silververt) built a few years ago. He posted a video of his car moving slowly through a parking lot and I knew right away that was the look I was shooting for. His car looked so vicious and elegant at the same time. He builds cars at a level beyond my capabilities. That's what's so cool about this forum, is being able to glean knowledge from the trailblazers.
Rick
