I must know. What suspension package do you have on that car? I would like to do that to mine too. That thing is going to be a true beast. Very nice work!

cpp kit

the only issues incurred was the bold holes for my lower rear shocks the differential holes had to be drilled out a bit. also the front shocks were a pain to mount on the front lower control arms with the clips provided. but with a little elbow grease and some grinding of the clips got it done. I would suggest before installing the lower front control arms to weld nuts for the shocks instead of the nut clips provided.

I painted it matte black. I do plan on using raptor lining for the undercarriage and engine bay possibly the bumpers and under the hood.

What is different about a "holiday" model from others? I've always been curious

the holiday coupe model has no post between the windows and I believe the holiday coupe models have extra chrome.

The 700R only requires an adapter plate to work with olds blocks.
