Default New rims and a few other things!! Pics!

Finally found some time to put my new chrome rims on!







I had the steering box rebuilt. Thank you Gary Ramadei!!





Cleaned up the 'back' view a little,



New 'true dual' exhaust, courtesy of a local shop.









New fuel line and tank,



Sorry no pics of the tank (forgot to take some as it was a PITA)

Couple of shots with the C5, as they were both clean!






I now need to start cleaning up the 'underside' of the car as you can see. I'm going to take a little time to drive and enjoy it for the summer. I'll start up again in the Fall.

Hey Doc, Beautiful vettes. I love the work you've done with the 82. That exterior/interior color combination (red/tan) is really nice. Congrats.

Looks great, I like the house too. What mufflers are you using? I have to turn mine to make them fit under the car.

They were on the car when I bought it. I think they are Dynomax Super Turbo's.

The headers are Hedmans. I bought them from Summit (around 250.00), and yes, they hang a little low. So far I have not had any clearance problems when driving, but I'm really careful.
