'64 Restomod LS2/TKO600 photo shoot
Ok ok.. as promised, here are some new pictures since the car is "done" and on the road. I've clocked 800 miles in the last couple of weeks and have only a small list of things to still get done before the Hot Rod Power Tour this year!
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

I will get engine pics up soon, but if you search C2 section for threads started by me, you'll find some pics and video from about a year ago when I first fired it up.
TKO600 with 0.64 5th gear and 3.90 gear in the diff.
The wheels are Team III AC wheels, 15x8 and 15x10. B.S. 4 and 5" respectively and tires are 235/60/15 and 295/50/15.

suspension was all re-done with vansteel kit for street/performance. glass rear spring, double-offset trailing arms to accomodate wider tires.
made custom caliper brackets to put 85-87 C4 calipers on. that year disc setup still fits inside the 15" rim.
the car actually now has parts from all 6 generations of corvette on it!

Great looking car with perfect wheels. AR Vintage racing Shely Cobra wheels? Special made backspacing?
Do the wheels touch the fiberglass when driving or when you have full turn on the front wheels?

Saint,
Sent you a PM regarding the wheels/tires. no issues lock to lock on the turn-ability. rears are a hair outside the lip, but do not hit at that ride height with Vansteel glass spring and Bilstein shocks.
bumpers are high, but not hitting front end. angle of the picture is a little deceiving.

Nice job on the Vette I love the looks of that old fashioned barn with all the old gasoline signs and coke dispenser. That 58 looks pretty cool sitting there as well. Looks like a nice place to kick back
