Great to see your Vette running again. I know all about the long tube header and starter clearance problem. I'm going through the same problems myself. But this weekend I should have the smaller gear driven one installed this weekend. By the way if you should go this route the large radius on the block near the starter mounting block will have to be clearanced to allow the new starter to mount correctly. Great to see you back in the game.

Just wanted to also say that car looks really nice. I think you should maybe paint the b-pillar black. Try a photoshop and see what it looks like.

Looks great with the wheels.

You may be a lemming, but at least you didn't go chrome! :thumbs:

Yes the tires look a zillion times better.

My dads new vette has those old pan style wheels on it. They look good on his actually. His is black and the wheels and the entire car are like brand new only 26k miles. But his is the first I like with those wheels.

Good call on yours though. They look much better. Car "looks" faster too!

:cheers:
