They look the good mate. Got any plans for them appart from laying down some nice elevensies in the ss? Lol

Donuts, lots of donuts... In a legal setting of course haha

Well I'm debating whether to go nuts on the SS and build te Calais as a cruiser for the missus, or returning the SS to stock and going nuts on the Calais.

In the mean time for the SS
I need to get some tubular upper rear control arms; I can banana a brand new OEM set in a month because of the minispool and boxed lower trailing arms. An adjustable panhard rod will help eliminate the rest of the axle tramp.

Then I want to bolt on a set of drag radials and see what she can run on the stock motor.

Well the ss should retain more value stock. So maybe the Calais should be the burnout machine. But then again you don't want the ss as a daily and put all the K's on it. So it's a bit of a tough one. The ss does already have the stally and 4.11s too I guess.

That ss is pretty damn clean. Would go real hard with that driveline.
You should join the vn ss club.

Hows does the 5lt go with a 4,200rpm stall ? Sounds a bit over kill for a stock 304 to me
