Thats a good looking car!.

Thats another car that I wish mine would look as good as when it is all done. I like the combination of the sidepipes , and your rims.

Thanks for the photos.

Did you have to do any modification for them to fit? I am looking to replace my stock wheels on my 80.

Thanks for all the

Like any good project it came in at 2X over budget and twice the time I expected (and that's b4 paint).

It was a great corvette learning experience for me as I had to replace/restore every part on the car from front to back and top to bottom over the past year. Glad it's over (or is it just beginning?).

Quick question. When I go to paint, give me a thumbs up or down for the stripe going across the rear of the car. I am 80% for painting solid black and 20% for repainting with the stripe.

Had to add Offset trailing arms. Probably could have put the wheels on without any mod's, but it would have been to close for comfort.
