Melting Slicks
Thank you all for your comments, I really appreciate them. Tires are 30 years old and yes they are to be replaced before I do any type of regular driving. I have only driven the car to be serviced up to this point and no plans to be a daily driver at all. Occasional weekend and / or car shows is all that I plan.
Regarding the OD unit I have found very very few shops thus far that know about or will even work on a DN 4+3 in my area of SE Michigan. If anyone has any recommendation please let me know. The shop that serviced my OD with a filter and fluid change was knowledgeable, they have rebuild 2 or 3 of them over the years as well as swapped them out with Tremecs but I did not like the way they took care of my car.
I have two authorized dealers / installers for the Tremec prefectfit kits from silver sport transmission in my area , the first shop I visited I was extremely pleased with, just waiting on install prices. Only mod to the car is to the tunnel itself, everything else is supposed to fit “perfectly”.
I’ll throw it out there, if there is any interest in buying this car PM me. I am always up to discuss options.

Love that wheel and tire look! I also like the black spoke wheel look as well that I have seen on other vettes. Exhaust looks great, sure it sounds much better than the stock exhaust.

I made some excellent new progress Tuesday with my research and finding a knowledgeable mechanic in my area who actually works on the 4+3's and now my plans are to rebuild what’s needed on the 4+3 keeping my original serial numbered unit which is really important in keeping this car a numbers matching classic.

They are GM Grand Sport wheels powder coated silver. Running adapters for the correct offset. I have collected some GM ZR1 wheels with the correct 36mm offset to replace them with. I just need to get them painted. Oh, tires are Nitto.
