Description
Work included a body-off repaint in metallic blue, interior refreshment, and the installation of a 5. 3-liter Vortec V8. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission with a replacement aluminum driveshaft and rebuilt rear axle, and additional modifications include 20? American Racing wheels, LED lighting, Flowmaster mufflers, an aftermarket stereo system, Wilwood front disc brakes, and QA1 coilovers. Originally finished in Crocus Yellow, the body was separated from the frame and repainted from its previous black to its current shade of Silver Blue. Brightwork includes chrome front and rear bumpers, window trim, door handles, and rearview mirrors. The side and rear windows have been replaced with smoked glass, and additional modifications include aftermarket blue halo front and sequential LED rear lights. Close-up photos of the paint, lenses, and trim are provided in the gallery. Polished 20? American Racing wheels wear Pirelli Scorpion Zero tires measuring 245/35, and the car rides on a lowered suspension with QA1 coilovers and an adjustable panhard and track bar. The brake system features a Wilwood master cylinder with a proportioning valve, along with Wilwood front calipers, slotted and cross-drilled rotors, and rear drums. The front bucket and rear bench seats were reupholstered in white vinyl, and sound deadening was added to the floors, trunk, inside roof, and door panels.
