Started as a repaint found rust in strut towers and front frame rails and rear quarters. Took off quarters before sending to blast. Repaired inner rear fenders and primed and sealed before welding New quarters on. Then removed rusted front frame rails and replaced. Contacted spraker racing and had them build a coilover front suspension and 9 in rear. Flushed the engine bay taking out every unnecessary hole. Replaced full floor and installed custom built subframe connectors and fine tuned the body with as little filler as possible. Motor 408 stroker 560+hp on dyno tkx trans. Just finished paint still have to cut and buff
