Default Getting Close To The Road
After a very long time, I'm only a few more hours from the road.







I have to be; I'm almost out of parts and tires next.

Great looking car. Have fun with it.
It is always a good thing to run out of parts on purpose.

It is actually a very dark blue with some light pearl. In some light its gray, some it's blue, some it looks black, and actually in some it has a green look. I'm not sure I intended it that way, but when I finally get it out this dirty garage it will make for some great pics. It's a Nissan Storm Blue.

Beautiful!
Youre gonna love that LS3 pulls very hard without all the loping and good luck hurting one of them.

Sure wish they had more room sometimes get the itch for another.

Nice work! Are you keeping the steelies on there? What size tires do you run in the back are the 255/60/15? Looks very good!

Yes, I'm looking to put the same set up as you see. 255/60/15 on the back and 235/60/15 on the front. Since the weight loss from the LS3 and spring hacking; I think this works and looks best. The idea was to look as stock as possible (other than color, motor, trans, and int.) but to the novice at 20 feet; or the Mustang behind, I'm close.

Very, very nice
"or the Mustang behind, I'm close."
You should say - or the Porsche behind.

I used to have a license plate frame that said "A little humility is good for a Porsche".
