Yeah. Im really excited about this car. I also might wait on the paint. Since i have an open garage, i might paint it myself and just trick out the suspension and a few more motor mods and do paint later. we'll see though

Wow, those will look great... Can't wait to see it with rubber on there!

You will LOVE that thing with a 5spd! VERY MUCH SO! Even the 4spd I had in my 67 390GTA WAS VERY MUCH more fun than the C6.... Just make sure the brakes match the 'go-go'! haha.

yeah the 5 speed really opens them up. theres an 84 tranny on craigslist right now, which has a faster gear ratio than the more later model T5, but who knows. i wanna get my wheels on first.

yeah im really excited about the wheels. they're gonna look great wrapped cant wait to have them on!

Pictures were taken with an Iphone... forgive me lol

Here they are mounted. I love them! They really stiffened up the ride and added a unique look to them. ( car's ugly, i know. the hood is in the garage, and the paint is a work in progress )







Here's what was on there before:

Yeah. i love it! haha Its rocking those truck rims all the way!

Too bad one of the wheels is defective/bent though. Im getting a new one sent out, and then return the other one. but it wouldn't balance. but even those it wouldn't balance, it doesn't cause any vibration. ( its on the rear though, and its a heavy car. )

Painted the car over the weekend to match the wheels. I spent 7 1/2 hours sanding it down with 220 and a power sander. Removed every single ding and dent in the car so its very straight now. There was absolutely no bondo on the car which is nice. But yeah, not bad for an $80 dollar paint job? this is the first car i've ever painted.
