To go with the Hurst Roll Control you bought him too
That way theres a reason he has to change it,not just cuz you dont like it.
Now since I've given my .02 would you please tell me what seats are those ??

They look like the seats out of a C6

I think the man should be able to have whichever ball in his hand he prefers the most.

That said, I agree the 8 ball would look cool in there. I love the rest of the car too!

I think a Budweiser bar tap handle would be tasteful

The problem is your husbands ball is too small.


You need a man with a set like this.

The rears are 285/40/18. The fronts are 245/45/18. The wheel size is, rear 18X9.5 with 5 inch backspace and the front is 18X8 with 4 inch backspace. They are Coys - C5 series.

my 2 cents

Thanks Eddie - that was my question too.

Problem with those 18s is that they get $$$$ quick since the 18s are all custom sizes.

But those wheels are the exact look I want.

P.S. - Jamie - what part of Anderson County? I grew up across the county line (to the West) in Solway (Knoxville). But, Oak Ridge was our hang out....church, mom 'n dad's work, shopping, etc.

I have a friend of mine here in Gillette who builds custom *****. He can put about anything you want inside the ****. Make one the same color as your car if you like. He did one for Kenny Bernstien's C-3 and just did one for one of Billie Gibbions hot rods. You can check him out if you want at www.koolknobs.com. Give him a call he can tell you what he can put in there. Even your picture if you want. They're kind of neat.

We live in Orchard ****......between Oak Ridge and Clinton. We both grew up in Oak Ridge and we both work in Oak Ridge now. If you're ever in the area, let us know!
