Here are some pics of the rear stance after the quarters were done but before the bumper and lip kit was put on. This should give you an idea as to how wide the rear is:
I bought Aristo JZS160 Power Folding mirrors. However I wanted to update the look in order to keep in unison with the whole car. So I bought Mercedes R Class Mirror covers and had Exotics mold in the turn signals puddle lamps.
Had to do something on the hood except my JP Wing. I decided to buy Rodney's 745Li Hood grille and get it installed in my hood. It was a perfect fit right in front of the windshield washer nozzles.

Yea something like that lol
Thanks!
Well not really going to be a fellow SBM owner any longer. Since the car is getting a full respray I decided to go with a different color something that speaks to the SBM heritage but is definitely going to stand out as different. Thank you for weighing in veritek nice to see an official OG liking the work!
Thanks!
You'll see it around in shows next season for sure. Where in NY you located?
Yes the supremes were sold to one of my customers whose air suspension I did on his Nissan 350z. His car took the 11.5" rears with no work needed at all 
The interior I picked up from a junkyard in Long Island and it set me about right around 1300-1400. I dont remember any longer. Wheel specs I do not know myself. They are 19x10 front with a 5" step lip and 19x12 with 6" Step lip.
Gotta document the build somewhere Lee. I gotta have fun with it after waiting for almost 2 years.
Thank you!
The headlights are done and I like the chrome it looks good on the car. The wheels are from a company called Kartier Forged out of Florida. Stick around you will love the thread development.
The parts I paid quite a chunk for but I believe that the retro set me back right around $500 plus or minus $100 but I don't recall as it was a while ago.

i've known you were doing some major work although i wasn't sure exactly what but is the car DONE and your just now doing the write up on it or is it still being worked on?
also is the JP hood fiberglass like their kits or metal like OEM?
