Love the car! Can't wait to see this! Don't worry the ol gs! It will be made right this time even though I didn't listen to alot of people the 1st time!! I'm sure ill have alot of people talking shit to me.. But it's ok I have alot of researching to do. Good luck with your build!

Baller! Before I always wanted to own a 430, but after these 460's have been popping up, this is the car I always want now =)

Nice pickup...wish the prices weren't so different between the 430s vs 460s...might have one in the future though!

Nice wheels, fitment looks like its gonna be HAM.

GG Joe!!!!!

This is like waiting for "Breaking Bad" to start


Need updates lol

So glad some people are finally getting around to the 460s. I love them so much and want to see them built more haha.

AGREED!!!  Joe, can't wait to see how your 460 turns out.  I think you still should have kept your GS.  Would have been a perfect stable mate for the 460!!!

Still no tires? I'm anxious to check out this fitment! It's going to be ridiculous!

still no tires. i think hes gonna wait till he gets a little closer to putting it all together.

thanks everyone for all the positive comments, and sorry for the lack of updates lately. There should be more updates in the coming months. :)

lol months. race to see whos finish first? lol jk. i already lost.

At first I was like meh about the color, but the more I look at it the more I love it!!!
Top notch!!!!! 
good job sir.

color looks really nice in your pics nick. is that as low as the rear goes in that side profile shot?

i think he said it was laid out but he can still adjust the shock to lower the perch. i honestly dont think the pics do the color justice.

Love the color and the kit, both go well soooo clean.  I keep looking at the pics Joe.
