My SL55 widebody

new member here and thought i would share my latest build.

misha widebody kit on an sl55. have also done alot of engine work and the exhaust note is pretty ferocious with lth and all cats and mufflers removed with only resonators left.
car took about 9 months from a stock car to what it is now. i do every last detail myself including paint and all fab work. i guess after 25 years of doing this hobby, the results have really been showing the last few cars. now this one is done, on to the next!
the color was decided by myself before the project began. after much ribbing by friends and others online i still stuck with it. now finished, i do not think the car could be any other color.

hope you guys can appreciate it also.

it should be right at about 600rwhp based on previous combinations. since the car is finished i am starting a new project and this car is for sale and i am open to offers.
great car and about the best well rounded car you can find for the money. i am addicted to building though so on to the next! lol. only about 400-500 miles on tires, paint, body and 700 miles on all the added engine and supporting mods.

i wish it was, haha. more like a disaster zone. i had to rent shop space to build my current project. which is a rare numbers matching 1980 turbo trans am indy pace car. plans are full resto then pull stock engine and trans (to wrap in plastic and store) and drop in an ls2 with single turbo. wheels, drop, and just a few suspension bolt ons. exterior and interior 100% stock. could be turned completely stock again in a weekend.
i have had the car 2 weeks now and it is just a shell, down to bare metal, and sprayed all the removable parts today. rest of chassis will finish on friday. to say i have been burning the midnight oil on it is an understatement!!

after that, work continues on my 67 camaro. an extreme custom widebody pro-touring project. twin turbo ls2, viper 6 spd, full frame custom frame and irs with pushrod coilovers. body channeled and widened 8". that car will be the business! haha
