The engine is a GM Performance 350 crate engine with a moderate camshaft. The relocated engine mounting pads move the engine rearward for a better weight balance.

The engine is mated to a TH350 automatic transmission with a 2500 stall converter. A freshly rebuilt drive shaft sends the power to the rear axle.

The Lokar shifter has been modified to accept a modified authentic attack helicopter aircraft joy stick for the handle. The SILVER button shifts the transmission, and the RED button fires the horn!

The tires are low profile Hankook with 225/45ZR17 on the front and 245/45ZR18 on the rear. The rims are Billet Specialties Five Spoke aluminum rims that have been custom painted with a two-tone design to match the body colors.

The body has been completely rebuilt with new interior and exterior rear quarter panels, rocker panels and a complete new floor. All remaining panels were worked and epoxy primed before moving into the painting process.

The completed underside of the body and inner front fenders were sprayed with undercoat.

The interior floor is sprayed with Raptor bed liner for a rugged look that will clean up easily.

A new black headliner and sail panels were installed.

The door panels and rear seat interior panels are custom aluminum panels embossed with the skull logo of the American sniper "The Punisher" that were custom built for this project by Big Wig Race Cars.

The dash has been updated with custom AutoMeter gauges.

The dash and center console chrome trim has been painted in a hammer-tone of silver and black.

The hammer-tone has been carried outside to the body panels and is applied to all trim parts, and it has also been used on the new front and rear bumpers.

Front fenders GTO emblems have been customized with the hammer-tone silver, black and white scheme.

The front and rear GTO emblems and Pontiac logo are painted in fluorescent white.

The original front bucket seat frames were stripped and rebuilt. The foam was custom contoured and covered in a custom designed ultra leather consisting of an old school black and a digital green with silver camouflage center insert that carries to the back of the seats and to the rear bench style seat.

To top it all off, all seats have "Special Operations" black and white American flag shoulder patches located in the shoulder blade area.

Driver and passenger side visors have been custom made to locate the target in front of you. Dark colored Lexan is cut in the shape of a Fighter Pilot sun visor.

In the center of each visor is an aluminum ringed cross-hair targeting system.

The original steering column has been rebuilt and painted the body color.
