BBK Calipers powder coated Matte White

Rotora 6-piston/355mm kit, brand new. E-coated rotors. Originally came red, powder coating only cost $70 dollars. Shop Smart


Exhaust measurements & planning

Stock exhaust is a very small and restricted 1.25" inches. There is also another cat after the last 02 censor. Plan is full TIG weld, 2.5" inch piping, X pipe, delete extra cat, delete resonators, ******** Mufflers, ******** tips. <---- wait and see.
Where did you get those taillights from??

Default East Bay Muscle Car

Early Saturday morning, the LS was dropped off in Brentwood to the well-crafted hands of Steve Kefer for the complete custom exhaust.

Complete floor-board replacements, custom suspension arms and spindles, bbk, wheels, all aspects of any custom work can be performed by Steve. Check out the kind of cars he build.

Schedule pick-up is Saturday so wait for the video clip.
